Why We're Glad Winter Just Won't Quit - Chunky Yarns for Maximum Coziness

Just when you thought it was safe to put away your heavy needles, the cold weather decided to stick around. Don't fight it—learn how the right bulky yarn can turn this seasonal extension into your most satisfying crafting period yet.

The Chill is Still Here—And So Is Our Crafting

Well, here we are again. It looks like winter decided to hit the snooze button a few extra times this year, reminding us that cozy season isn't quite over yet. If you were starting to pack away your warm project materials, think again! This extended cold spell is actually the perfect excuse to dive into some truly luxurious and warm creations. We might as well enjoy the extra time for crafting while the weather demands blankets and hot drinks.

Why Bulky Yarns Are Your Best Friend Right Now

When winter extends its stay, you need projects that offer quick gratification. That's where chunky yarn comes in. Using yarns in CYC weights 5, 6, and 7 means bigger needles or hooks, and dramatically faster results. You can transform a pile of skeins into a substantial blanket or a cuddly sweater in a fraction of the time it takes for a fingering weight project. If you're looking for that instant cozy fix, we highly recommend trying something super soft like our bulky yarn collection.

Our Favorite Projects for Maximum Warmth

What should you make with all that gorgeous bulky yarn? Think big and soft! Oversized cardigans are perfect for throwing on while working from home, and quick knitting cowls make fantastic gifts or perfect additions to your own cold weather wardrobe. But the undisputed champion of extended winter crafting is the throw blanket. There is nothing better than curling up under something you made yourself. You can find beautiful, quick to complete yarn for projects like this, like our super bulky options.

Keep the Cozy Feeling Going

Don't let the surprise return of cold weather put a damper on your creative energy. View it as a bonus round for warmth and crafting! Grab those chunky yarns, pick out a pattern that makes you happy, and settle in. The spring sunshine will arrive eventually, but until then, let's keep making life a little softer and warmer, one stitch at a time.
