Chunky yarn for the first time!

Good evening, everyone.
It is finally getting cold.
The weather here in Fukuoka is such that one wonders whether or not to wrap a scarf around one's head.

Well, as I just announced on Instagram, we will be selling new materials.
Do you remember?
That I had quietly taken a survey on Instagram Stories.
The first question, as I recall, was this

Are you interested in thick yarns?


I found out that a lot of people voted for me and also that everyone is interested in thicker yarns.
Thank you very much for that.
It is true that there are many fine yarns such as sock yarn, but I don't see thick yarns very often, so I was interested in purchasing some.

In the questionnaire that followed, we asked about specific thicknesses.
I asked about four different thicknesses, from DK to Chunky, with DK being the most popular.
The most popular was DK, which is certainly satisfactory because it is very versatile.
However, I got curious...and ended up ordering a few.
Today I would like to introduce Chunky yarns from among them.

Here is Chunky this time.

It is finished in a dull pink color.
This is a yarn called “9:00 p.m. Sweet Lies” from the 24H series, a color I used to sell.
If you look closely, you can see that there is almost no twisting, which is characteristic of wool yarns, and the thickness of the yarn varies.
When knitting, thin and thick parts appear randomly, making it a casual and unique knitting fabric.

And when I checked on the well-known Ravelry, I found that the most commonly knitted Chunky in thickness is for small items around the neck.
(Ravelry didn't have Chunky listed, so I used bulky, which is closer to Chunky.)
When I thought about the unique knitted fabric and what color would go well with the neck, this color came up.

Winter tends to be dark-toned in terms of coordination.
I myself have such a tendency, but I am drawn in when I see a color that makes me feel refreshed.
And I dyed this pop yarn with the idea of using a dusky pink to give it a slightly more mature look...how do you like it?
The most important thing about this yarn is its feel. It is almost untwisted, so it has the fluffy feel of raw wool.
I think this is something only this yarn has.
However, there is a caveat.
Almost no twisting means it is vulnerable to friction, making it prone to furballs.
Since the yarn is shrink-proofed, it is probably less likely to form pilling than regular sweet-twisted yarn, but please note that it is not suitable for socks.

Despite these precautions, this yarn is full of charm.
I hope you will take it in your hands.
The sale will start at 20:00 on November 29.
