We haven’t posted a lot of patterns with chunky bulky weight 5 yarn. The idea of a sweater or cardigan working up twice as fast because the yarn is that much thicker, really appeals to us so yes … we have tried….however to be honest we haven’t always loved the end result. They just haven’t turned out as “modern” as we would like it to be, look a little too “crafty” and not something we would reach for on an every day basis.

Then finally, we ordered some gorgeous reddish chunky yarn and we knew we were going to give it another go. We are so happy we did as we love the end result. Its modern slouchy, textured, oversized, and we love wearing this over long denim skirts and jeans. It’s going to get a lot of wear over little spring tops and will be well worn from fall to winter.
