Luxe or Low-Fuss? Your Guide to Choosing the Right Cardigang Chunky Yarn
Let’s talk yarn. Chunky yarn. Soft, squishy, stitchable goodness. At Cardigang, we’ve got two deliciously chunky options that make knitting a dream — but they each bring their own kind of magic. Whether you’re just starting out or levelling up, choosing between our Premium Chunky and Everyday Chunky yarns is all about finding the right vibe for your project (and your personality).
So, what’s the diff? Let’s break it down.
Premium Chunky: The Fancy One
Made from 100% Australian Merino wool, Premium Chunky is our luxe, buttery-soft yarn that brings the drama (in a good way). It’s thick, warm, and designed for stitch definition that pops. If you’re making a show-stopper cardi, a jumper you’ll wear forever, or a gift you really want to impress with, this yarn is your girl.
Ultra-soft with a natural, breathable feel
Amazing stitch definition
Great for forever pieces & fancy vibes
Ideal for cooler climates or snuggle-heavy seasons
Vibe: Soufflé soft. Luxe as heck. Made to brag about.
Everyday Chunky: The Beginner-Proof One
Everyday Chunky is our more practical queen. A 50/50 blend of recycled and premium acrylic, she’s soft, squishy, and super forgiving. This yarn is built for everyday wear, heavy love, and lots of learning. Perfect for first-timers, fast stitchers, or gifting legends who want low-fuss, high-impact makes.
Beginner-friendly and forgiving of mistakes
Durable, easy to care for
Budget-conscious without skimping on the squish
Fab for scarves, blankets, kids' knits & high-use pieces
