I want to use an acrylic Bulky or Super Bulky yarn for a wedding gift for my niece. Problem is, when I look on Ravelry about different yarns, the comments don’t make me want to run out and buy them.
So far, nobody on Ravelry likes Mary Maxim’s Titan yarn or Loops & Threads Charisma from Michael’s craft store. A few of them liked Lion Brand’s Wool Ease Thick & Quick.
Got any acrylic bulky or super bulky yarn you especially like to work with and would recommend???
THANKS!!!

I’ve used Woolease T&Q and liked it. What is it you’re thinking of making?
Sorry about that!!! I want to make the Aspen Blanket from Go-Girl Knitting.
Thanks,

I currently knitting a blanket with Lion Brand Hometown USA - which i’m pretty sure is super bulky. It’s alright and reasonably inexpensive, but the blankent is a bit stiff and not as soft as I would like (I’m hoping that blocking will help a little, but with acrylic i’ve heard it won’t be much). I’ve seen Bernat Soft and Cozy Blanket yarn in Joann’s, but they only had 2 colours (red and brown) and I have not been able to find much more about it online.
I love Knit Picks [COLOR=“Red”]Brava Bulky[/COLOR]. It is soft and comes in boatloads of great colors. Inexpensive too.
Thanks to all! I just ordered the Brava Bulky today in their Umber Heather color. I ordered enough to use 3 strands together AND make it a little longer than the pattern.
PLUS the grand total was under $60 with FREE shipping!!!
Itching to get started!!!

I also use Wool Ease Thick & Quick.
I LOVE it!! Especially the ones with sparkles.
