What's that giant wool called? The super huge stuff like this

[GeneralBobbit]

Any ideas?

[GherkinsOnToast]

Is it Super Chunky?

[tribpot]

Yes, Super Chunky is the heaviest weight that Love Knitting sell. You do it on 10mm needles, that's massive.

[GeneralBobbit]

Ah that's brilliant. Thank you both.

Hopefully I will be able to knit it up cheaper than that throw which is £250

[GeneralBobbit]

Right it's not that, it's about 10 times as thick as that. I was just about to order it and I looked at patterns on eBay and not much thicker than normal wool, maybe about twice as thick.

Is it this really giant stuff?

[TondelayaDellaVentamiglia]

it's roving they use for the "extreme" knitting I think.

[TheWoollybacksWife]

Would Bernat mega bulky do. It knits on 19mm needles.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

Wow, you'd feel like a Borrower under a blanket like that!

[Paulat2112]

I seen a pattern tonight that was knitted on 25mm needles and used three strands of the chunky wool, it looked lovely, i'm going to do it

[tribpot]

If I were going to do some extreme knitting I think I'd opt for a fence.

[GeneralBobbit]

Omg I've gone mental and ordered twine off bad Amazon to knit that fence

Fuck the big knitting, I can't afford the £136 it costs for the giant wool to knit that blanket

The twine was a fiver for 350metres

[tribpot]

Fantastic!

Must have been one massive fecking sheep!!
Maybe on anabolic steroids??

[Puzzledconfusedandbewildered]

I've seen these on pinterest they knit/crochet them with their arms as needles

[Flossyfloof]

Maybe not helpful but could you French knit some do and then knot up the result?

[LunaLoveg00d]

I saw a woman at a craft show once who was knitting with strips of fabric rather than yarn and needles so thick that they had to rest on the floor. They were like fence posts. She did say that this sort of knitting is like going to the gym and gives you mscles in places you didn't know you had.

Fascinated to hear how the fence is getting on!!
