[banner] How not to get lost in the wide offer of chunky knit wool?First, you're probably confused by the wide chunky yarn offer in the market - you've seen cheap yarn and expensive yarn, natural yarn, and synthetic yarn, thick yarn and not that thick yarn. And, on top of that, there's also a wide range of colors and even mixtures of different colors.To be short and simple, because we want to keep it easy for you, in your very first DIY chunky knit project you will want to focus on the quality of the material. It's an old truth that bad instruments can spoil even the most gifted artist's work. So instead of searching for lower price wool material, we encourage you to choose high-quality wool so your first chunky knit project is full of fun and you enjoy the whole process and result.We have tried different wool materials and what we discovered is that pure merino wool is the best one. The colors on this material look rich and saturated and it also feels smooth and silky against the skin. You'll see how easily it flows through your arms.Read more about the importance of wool quality in our blog post Why choose Wool Art products?.Visit our shop's Yarn section to purchase the merino chunky yarn we mentioned in this blog.How much yarn do you need?The amount of wool you need for your chunky knit blanket depends on how big you want your DIY chunky blanket to be and which wool you choose. Ok, we know that this wasn't the answer you wanted to get, so we have created a very simple formula for you that will help you to calculate the needed wool quantity. It's based on the wool type we use and which you can find here.Before we explain the formula, it's additionally important to know that the needed wool quantity also depends on your knitting pattern and density. As each person has it's own handwriting, each knitter has it's own knitting manner.For those who like knitting densely, we suggest choosing a slightly more quantity of wool than indicated in our formula. For those, who knit loose, it's very possible that after the blanket is finished, they will remain with some extra material on their hands.So taking into account all the above the short and simple formula is as follows: 1 ft² - 0.5 lbs.Explaining the formula, it means that for every 1 ft² of blanket you need 0.5 lbs of wool.We know that calculating sometimes can be hard, so feel free to use this cheat sheet which will tell you how much yarn you need for each specific size of the blanket.
