Our take on the Big Twist Value Yarn

Big Twist Value Yarn is a worsted-weight acrylic yarn sold in large skeins, aimed at budget-minded crocheters and knitters. It is a workhorse yarn for blankets, amigurumi, hats and practice projects, with a wide color range and a soft hand for an acrylic. It is a store-brand yarn, so it is priced below most national brands and is easiest to find at the retailer that carries it.

Questions and answers

Is Big Twist Value Yarn good for beginners?
Yes. It is a forgiving worsted acrylic that works with common hook and needle sizes, and the low price makes practice cheap.
What size hook or needles should I use?
It is a worsted-weight (CYC 4) yarn. Most crafters use a 5 to 5.5 mm crochet hook or US 7 to 8 knitting needles, then adjust for gauge.
Is it machine washable?
As an acrylic, it is generally machine washable and dryable on low. Check the skein band for the maker's exact care instructions.
How much yarn comes in a skein?
Skein size varies by line, so check the yardage on the label before planning a project. Buy extra for large blankets to keep one dye lot.
Is it soft enough for amigurumi and baby items?
It is soft for an acrylic and is a common choice for amigurumi. For baby items, many crafters still prefer a softer or natural fiber.
When is it cheapest?
Store-brand yarns like this usually drop during seasonal sales and clearance events. Watch the price history rather than assuming the list price is the low.
