Cascade Yarns Cherub Chunky - Bronz Mist 96
Cascade's Bronz Mist #96 is a yellow-green. Imagine the surface of a bronze object that's been exposed to the elements, developing a greenish-gold layer that catches the light with a subtle, iridescent glow. The yellow-green aspect gives the color an energetic, almost electric feel, while the bronze keeps it grounded and sophisticated.
This robust shade is amazing on its own, but pairs well with other bold shades. A superb color for children's toys. The combination of bronze and yellow-green is ideal for mythical creatures like dragons or griffins. It gives them a magical, otherworldly appearance.
This yarn, blending nylon and acrylic, features a subtle sheen and excellent drape. Knitted at a worsted weight, it creates a dense fabric with significant weight, ideal for a warm jacket. When crocheted, the yarn 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 test knit Cherub Chunky on our LK150 (Silver Reed) mid-gauge knitting machine, and the results were lovely at the looser settings of 6 through 9. The lower tension of 6 produced a piece with more body. Great for Jackets. Tension dial 9 produced a more drapey fabric good for soft sweaters and wraps. Although most of the time a Chunky yarn isn't a good fit for this mid-gauge machine.
