Pickles Big Fuzz

Big mohair - forever a favourite!

Mohair yarn. Pickles Big Fuzz is one of our most used yarn qualities, and there are many good reasons for this! This super fuzzy yarn can be knitted on both big and even bigger needles, and gives light and airy, yet warm and soft garments that stay beautiful for years and years. We use it alone on everything from 5 mm/US 8 to 12 mm/US 17 needles. The yarn is spun from mohair, mixed with a little wool to create extra volume and durability. Since the mohair fibres are short, they are spun around a nylon thread keeping it together. Garments knitted in Pickles Big Fuzz stay beautiful year after year, and won´t pill or shed. They will also keep their shape even if you use big needles. 78% mohair, 15% wool, 7% nylon | 50 g balls | 100 m / 110 yards | Knitted on 6-10 mm / US 10 - 15 needles | Gauge per 10 cm / 4": 8 - 16 stitches and 12 - 20 rows | Hand wash

Patterns and yarn kits

Pickles Big Fuzz is well suited for patterns knitted in chunky mohair on 6 mm/US 10 - 12 mm/US 17 needles, depending on wanted structure. Combine with other yarn qualities for an even more chunky look. The palette of fresh colors and pastelles makes it easy to combine in stripes or colorwork.

We recommend hand washing garments in cold or luke warm water, but you can put it on a spin cycle afterwards (please make sure that you do not use a rinse cycle, only spin cycle) to extract water. Then lay the garment flat on the floor and stretch/block it in the shape you want. The garment will dry in a few hours.
