Super Chunky Blankets and Giant Knit Fashion by Anna Mo
Ukranian designer Anna Mo creates hand-knitted blankets and other knitted pieces, which are made from extremely thick yarn. Each stitch is three inches and constructed from oversized knitting needles. Composed of 100% merino wool, Mo’s creations are soft to the touch and lightweight. You can find more of her chunky knitted designs on her Etsy shop.

what she’s calling “yarn” is merino pencil roving, for felting or spinning, with a very light “twist.” I’ve used lots and lots of such roving in the years i worked for a fiber artist, and it’s very soft, very lovely, and very prone to wear and tear and pilling, etc unless felted very hard. Don’t get me wrong, they’re incredible, but those big blankets would need to be handled very carefully, imo.
