HOMBYS White Chunky Chenille Yarn for Crocheting, Bulky Thick Fluffy Yarn for Knitting,Super Bulky Chunky Yarn for Hand Knitting Blanket, Soft Plush Yarn, 8 Jumbo Pack (27 yds,8 oz Each Skein)

I have been ordering hombys yarn for about 7-8 months now, ever since I started hand knitting. The product has been good quality and value. I have to say that my last few orders have decreased in quality, the yarn is thin and scrappy and I really have to work with it to get it to fluff up. Also I have had some orders on backorder which effects my ability to serve my clients in a timely and quality manor. I hope this is not the new norm for your product and customer service. Phyllis T.

Quality of what I have used so far is great but BEWARE, I have yet to measure a skein that has the advertised 25 yds. Usually measures 20-21 yds so plan accordingly if you are needing a certain length for your project.

15 rolls worked up to a nice size throw. I lost a large part of a skein due to stranding. It was wound up into a knot and had to cut it free. Super heavy and will make a great gift.

I wanted to crochet a chunky blanket for my sister for Christmas and decided to go with a giant hook and giant yarn. While it was tough to get the hang of using a big hook (T-30, 30 mm hook), this yarn was easy to work with while I was getting the hang of it and I’m so glad it wasn’t stretchy. You’ll need to keep your tension looser than normal if you end up using a hook! The yarn is so soft. Perfect texture for a blanket. I used an easy pattern (1 row double crochet, 1 row slip stitch) and it ended up looking like it was harder than it was. It worked up quickly (I had to redo quite a few stitches though so it evened out the timeline 😂). I loved the color I chose! The yarn came in vacuum packed bags which was convenient - tip: only open each bag as you need more yarn. Less stuff everywhere! The smell wasn’t too bad, in fact, I don’t remember being repulsed at all. Good value for the money. If I had bought these elsewhere, I probably would have had to drop more money to make a blanket. That said, this comes with 8 skeins of yarn. It’s enough to make a lap blanket. Perfect for reading, sitting, etc. and for a few simple tassels. Covers you from the waist down, basically. Looks cute on a couch or on the end of a bed.:) But too small for covering your whole body to take a nap on the couch. 😂 I’d recommend either buying additional single skeins to make it a tad bigger, or buy 16 total if you want ensure that it’ll cover someone’s whole body. My sister loved it as a gift and didn’t think it was too small so if you can’t buy more, you’ll likely be ok.:) Hope the photos help you get a better idea of the sizing!

Super soft and fluffy! Great to use for making chunky blankets.
