Cascade Yarns Cherub Chunky - Cranberry 120
Cranberry #120 color doesn't quite fit into the categories of orange, pumpkin, tomato, or red. It resides somewhere within that range! It's a striking shade of rust orange-red. I would classify it under the earthy tones, leaning towards the more intense side of that palette. It's a beautiful hue that complements other bold, yet slightly unconventional tones.
This yarn shade is perfect for crafting adult apparel such as jackets and sweaters, as well as accessories and home décor items. It also serves as a vibrant pop of color for children's knitted or crocheted creations.
The yarn, a blend of nylon and acrylic, features a subtle sheen and impressive drape. Knitted in worsted weight, it creates a dense fabric with significant weight, ideal for making a warm jacket. When crocheted, it yields a flexible fabric that drapes elegantly.
Cherub Chunky is a bulky weight yarn. A perfect blend of acrylic and nylon fibers, softer than any acrylic blend you've used! This yarn is a very soft bulky, works up quickly, and is scrumdiddlyumptious. These are 100 gram balls. Garments hand knit or crocheted out of Cherub Chunky move from your wash machine to your dryer. The resulting fabric is soft and delightful. Allergic to wool? Knit or crochet a sweatshirt style pullover or hoodie. So soft and will not irritate the skin.
Cascade offers a whole line of Cherub Yarns. Cherub Baby is a fingering weight. Cherub DK is slightly heavier at a DK weight of 5.5 to 6 sts per inch. Cherub Aran is a light worsted that gets 5 sts per inch. And last, but not least Cherub Chunky is a Bulky weight that works up to 3 to 3.5 sts per inch.
IDEAL for the bulky gauge knitting machine. Creates a very delicate crochet too!

- Perfect for the Silver Reed Chunky Gauge Knitting Machines.
- I tested Cherub Chunky yarn on our LK150 (Silver Reed) mid-gauge knitting machine, and the results were impressive at the looser tension settings of 6 to 9. A tension setting of 6 yielded a fabric with more body, ideal for jackets. Meanwhile, a tension setting of 9 created a fabric with more drape, suitable for soft sweaters and wraps. However, it's worth noting that Chunky yarn typically doesn't work well with mid-gauge machines.
