How much yarn does a blanket take?

At 16 yards per skein, a throw needs several skeins. Plan the finished size first, then buy enough from the same dye lot, since jumbo projects use up skeins quickly.

Can I use it without needles?

Yes. The tube is thick enough to knit or crochet by hand, which is how many people make chunky blankets with it. Needles or a hook are optional.

What tools does it need?

US 50 (25 mm) knitting needles or a U-50 (25 mm) crochet hook. The stated gauges are 3 stitches and 5 rows per 4 inches knit, and 3 single crochet and 4 rows per 4 inches crocheted.

How do I wash a finished piece?

Machine wash on gentle and tumble dry on low. Keep the cycle mild to protect the velvet surface and the tube shape.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes, if you want a quick, thick project. The large gauge is easy to see and handle, but the size limits you to simple stitches and shapes.

Our take on the Lion Brand Yarn Cover Story Cozy Luxe

Cover Story Cozy Luxe is a jumbo-weight tube yarn in 100% polyester with a velvety, plush surface. Each skein holds 16 yards (about 300 g), and the thick tube works up on US 50 (25 mm) needles or a U-50 hook, or by hand. It suits people making chunky blankets, scarves and home accents who want fast, soft results rather than fine stitch work. Against finer blanket yarns it trades stitch detail and yardage for speed and a velvet look; against other jumbo tube yarns it is machine washable and dryable, which many roving-style jumbo yarns are not.
