Our take on the Lion Brand Cover Story Thick & Quick Yarn

Lion Brand Cover Story Thick & Quick is a jumbo-weight (category 7) 100% polyester novelty yarn sold in 300 g skeins with just 36 m per skein. It is built for very large needles or hooks — the listed gauge is 25 mm — so blankets, plush home decor and statement scarves work up fast. It is machine washable and dryable and marketed as tick-repellent. At $16.56 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it is the lowest of the five stores pricing it new, though 36 m per skein means big projects need several skeins.

What reviewers say

  • Soft, cuddly finished fabric
  • Holds up to machine washing
Cons
  • Short 36 m skeins mean frequent reorders
  • Shedding and pilling reported by some users

Questions and answers

Is Lion Brand Cover Story Thick & Quick worth it?
It is worth it for fast, plush projects like throws and pillows where speed matters more than yardage. For garments or anything needing many meters, the 36 m skeins make it expensive.
How many skeins do I need for a blanket?
At 36 m per skein, a small lap throw typically takes several skeins, and a full-size blanket many more. Buy extra; dye lots can vary between orders.
What needle or hook size does it need?
The listed gauge is 25 mm, so use very large knitting needles or a jumbo crochet hook. Smaller tools will make dense, stiff fabric.
Is it machine washable?
Yes. Lion Brand lists it as machine washable and dryable. Wash cold and tumble low to limit pilling.
Is it good for beginners?
Yes. The thick yarn and big stitches are easy to see and work quickly, which suits first blankets and scarves.
When is it cheapest?
As of November 4, 2026, the best new price is $16.56 at Amazon across five stores. Jumbo yarns often drop during seasonal craft sales, so compare stores before buying multiple skeins.
