Cascade Yarns Cherub Chunky - Cinnabar 117
Cinnabar 117 is classified as an orange, but a better descriptive term would be new terracotta or rich rust. It has a lot of red to it. This lovely earthy tone is rich and would pair well with other earthy shades of cream, green, gold and browns. A great cabin shade! Perfect shade for any adult garment, accessory or home decor. But would also be a great contrast color in a child's multi color garment or accessory or blanket. This yarn is a blend of nylon and acrylic. It has a touch of a sheen. It has incredible drape.
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.
