FAQs

What is Wildwood Chunky made from?

Wildwood Chunky is made from 100% recycled wool.

What kind of projects is this yarn suitable for?

It is suitable for adult garments, accessories, and homeware items.

What needle size should I use?

The recommended needle size is 6.00mm (UK 4 / US 10).

How long is each ball of yarn?

Each 100g ball contains 190m (207yds) of yarn.

How do I ensure consistent color throughout my project?

Purchase all the yarn from the same dye lot if possible. If using multiple dye lots, alternate rows or sections.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty maintaining the recommended tension.

Make a tension swatch before starting your project. Adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct tension. Remember that the recommended tension is one stitch and one row more than standard chunky yarns.

Color inconsistencies between different balls of yarn.

When purchasing yarn for a large project, buy all the required balls at once to ensure they are from the same dye lot. If using multiple dye lots, alternate rows or sections to blend any slight color variations.
