Why You’ll Love It

Varied explorer-inspired shades: Each colourway takes its name from a famous explorer (think “Shackleton”, “Hillary”, “Raleigh”) — so you’re crafting with a story.
Super chunky speed: Big texture, big stitches, and projects that grow fast — perfect for instant gratification.
Blend for both look & feel: With the acrylic/wool mix, you get vibrant colour and the wool-blend warmth (but plenty of washability).
Versatile use: Ideal for chunky jumpers, oversized scarves, cuddly cushions, or statement home-pieces.
Fun for all makers: Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just diving in, this yarn gives you excellent visual impact with simpler stitches.
