Yarn By Weight | 6 Roving or 100 meters (109 yards) per 100g and thicker

Roving, also known as super bulky or super chunky yarn, is exceptionally thick and perfect for quick projects with bold, textured designs. Its minimal processing gives it a soft, slightly uneven texture.

  • Thickness: Extremely thick and plush, providing warmth and volume.
  • Gauge: 1.5–3 stitches per inch on US 11–17 needles (8–12.75 mm).
  • Metrage: Typically 100 meters (109 yards) per 100g and thicker.

Ideal for chunky scarves, hats, blankets, cowls, and oversized sweaters, it’s great for arm knitting or working with large needles/hooks. Roving yarn’s fluffy texture makes it a standout for cozy, modern designs and statement pieces.
