Horizon Chunky Yarn – Frequently Asked Questions

What is Stylecraft Horizon Chunky made from?

Stylecraft Horizon Chunky is spun from a premium blend of 80% acrylic and 20% wool. This gives it the warmth and softness of wool, combined with the durability and easy-care properties of acrylic.

How big is each cake of Horizon Chunky?

Each ball weighs a generous 200g and contains 360 metres (393 yards) of yarn. The cakes are designed to show off the full gradient on the ball, so you can easily see all the colours before you begin.

What hook or needle size should I use?

Horizon Chunky works beautifully with a 6mm crochet hook or knitting needles, making it ideal for chunky projects that work up quickly.

Is Horizon Chunky machine washable?

Yes! Horizon Chunky is machine washable at 30°, can be tumble dried on a delicate setting, and ironed on a cool heat. (Do not dry clean.) This makes it a practical choice for everyday garments and accessories.
