As generous a yarn as we could dream up, Gentle Giant is for anyone with a soft spot for cozy and an eye for beauty!
- Gentle Giant comes from the merino sheep breed, which is wool at its best: soft but strong, light but warm.
- The loose and lofty spin of this single-ply yarn makes full use of merino's softness. It also ensures the yarn is not too heavy to weigh you down and traps air to insulate you from the cold.
- A jumbo-weight yarn, Gentle Giant knits up at a great, big 1.5 stitches to the inch and is the perfect go-to yarn for quick-but-gorgeous knits: warm winter blankets, sumptuous hats and scarves, and high-drama cowls!
- Explore our collection of (mostly free) knitting patterns in Gentle Giant and cast on for something dramatic!
Made in Peru, Gentle Giant is certified to be free of substances that may be harmful to human health... Nice and gentle!
