Instant Gratification in Every Stitch

Our signature super bulky yarn, Merino No. 5, is the ultimate for quick, satisfying projects and the absolute best choice for learning how to knit. Incredibly soft, bouncy, and thick, a single ball knits up in just 1 to 2 hours. It delivers that iconic, oversized Loopy Mango aesthetic with unparalleled plushness that feels amazing to work with and even better to wear.

One Yarn, Three Fabrics

🐑 US 15 (10mm) creates a dense, structured, and cozy stitch—ideal for warm beanies, structured headbands, and heavy-duty winter accessories.
🐑 US 19 (15mm) serves as the classic sweet spot, perfect for bringing everyday chunky sweaters, cardigans, and plush blankets to life.
🐑 US 36 (20mm) produces an ultra-lofty, open stitch with a beautiful drape, making it perfect for dramatic, airy statement scarves, shawls or oversized throw blankets.
