Big Wool takes the knitability of a super chunky and transforms it with pure Merino wool, raising the bar by which all other 'beginner' yarns are measured. Big Wool is not just for new knitters though. With a super light spin and paintbox colour palette, it's the perfect choice for speedy accessories and dramatic garments. Make a statement with a giant cable, get creative with colour combinations or cast on a super cosy accessory in the ultimate yarn for winter.

Launched in 2001 with just 8 shades, Big Wool has developed quite a fan base with new knitters (it’s so easy to learn with),as well as with those who love bold texture, excellent stitch definition and fast results.
Merino wool is known for its softness, elasticity and resilience, making it ideal for spinning into knitting yarn. Being as fine as it is, it’s the yarn most people are able to wear next to their skin, and the structure means it’s excellent at wicking moisture away from the skin, and helping to regulate body temperature. On top of that, wool is a renewable fibre.
At just 2.5sts to 2.5cm/1”, this is one of the most versatile chunky yarns you’ll find anywhere. It’s quick to knit (a hat takes just a few hours) making it perfect for new knitters who need the confidence building of finishing something as well as busy knitters who don’t have a lot of time on their hands. Doubled, it’s great for super-bulky jackets and cosy blankets.
