Wishshaw in Berroco Comfort Chunky (FREE)

This yarn is perfect for people who are allergic to wool, vegans, and is great for projects that require machine wash and dryability (baby things, kid things, blankets, men, seniors). It is so soft and cozy, it will be impossible for anyone to turn it away!  It is made from a high-end synthetic blend of 50% super fine nylon and 50% superfine acrylic, milled in Turkey. You also get a nice amount of yardage with it, balls are 100g/135m. Suggested needle size is 6.5mm for knitting, and 6mm for crochet, and the knitted tension is 14 sts & 20 rows = 4"/10cm. 

Ravenna in Vintage Chunky from Book 302


Vintage Chunky is a VERY versatile yarn!  It is a high quality blend of wool, acrylic and nylon, which makes it soft, beautiful, machine washable, and quite durable. It also comes in heathered shades, which are stunning! 6mm needles or hook are suggested, and the tension is 14 sts & 21 rows = 4" (10cm). Additionally, the yardage is nice for the price, coming in at 100g/120m.
