Yarn Chunky
Posted on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 at 10:01 pmThe difference between aran & chunky yarn?
I would like to know if you can interchange patterns between aran and chunky yarns. Is chunky thicker than aran. Any advice would be helpful, especially from experienced knitters.
Thanks
Chunky or bulky weight yarns can be substituted for one another, but Aran weight yarn is not as thick as these. Check the gauge of your pattern against the stated gauge of the Aran yarn, if they match for the same size needle, you can safely substituted. If they do not, make a gauge swatch in the Aran yarn with the needles recommended in the pattern and see if you get a satisfactory fabric, if it is too open or flimsy for the project, don't use it.
