- Is Lazy Days Thick & Quick good for beginners?
- Yes. The tube construction means there are no plies to split, and the 9 mm gauge makes stitches easy to see. Simple garter or double crochet projects finish fast.
- How many skeins do I need for a blanket?
- Each skein is 114 m (125 yd). A throw of roughly 1.2 by 1.5 m in super bulky gauge typically takes 6 to 9 skeins, so buy extra to allow for knots.
- Can I machine wash and dry it?
- Yes. Wash on gentle and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, which can make polyester lose its shape.
- What needle and hook size does it use?
- Lion Brand lists 9 mm (US 13) knitting needles and a 9 mm (US N/13) crochet hook. Gauge is about 10 stitches and 15.5 rows per 4 inches in knit.
- How does it compare to regular Lazy Days?
- Thick & Quick is the super bulky version: thicker, faster to work and built for chunky blankets and statement stitches. Regular Lazy Days is lighter and better for garments.

- The best new price seen is $13.99 at Lion Brand Yarn as of November 4, 2026. Lion Brand runs frequent sitewide yarn sales, so watch for those rather than single-skein discounts.
