Why Choose Big Twist Yarn

Affordability That Can't Be Beat

For less than $5, I could get a jumbo skein with over 300 yards of yarn! Even the smaller 6 oz skeins are an incredible deal at just a few dollars each.

Vibrant, Gorgeous Colors to Spark Creativity

Another thing that immediately caught my eye about Big Twist was the stunning selection of colors. The rich, saturated tones make every project pop. What’s even better is that Big Twist produces coordinating solids, heathers, tweeds, and multicolored yarns. This makes it easy for me to find perfect color matches for gradient Effects or intricate colorwork.

The Softest, Smoothest Texture That's a Joy to Work With

I’m extremely picky when it comes to the feel and texture of yarn. I loathe working with anything that’s stiff, scratchy, or splitty. From my very first touch, I could tell the Big Twist yarn was unbelievably soft and smooth.I never have to worry about knots, tangles, or imperfections. No matter which Big Twist variety I work with, the consistency of quality is amazing.

But I was amazed at how effortless Big Twist yarn is to crochet with, even for my clumsy, untrained hands!The weight is perfect to produce crisp, defined stitches with little to no splitting. The colors and textures make it quick and intuitive to identify individual stitches. And the smooth feel makes it easier on the wrists for marathon crocheting sessions.

As a busy adult, being able to conveniently throw my finished projects in the washing machine is a must. I was thrilled to discover that Big Twist yarn is completely machine washable and dryable.The colors stay vibrant wash after wash. The yarn doesn’t shrink, felt, bleed dye, or lose its shape. Being able to toss my Big Twist creations in with my regular laundry makes finishing and caring for projects so much easier.

Tons of Weight Options for Any Project

Another great advantage of Big Twist is the huge variety of weights available within the line. From bulky roving style yarns to fingering weight beauties, there’s a Big Twist for any pattern or purpose.I could make airy, delicate shawls with lightweight yarns or extra cozy chunky throws and scarves with the bulkier varieties. Fuzzy novelty yarns added whimsical flair to accessories, while smoother fingering weights created intricate colorwork.
