Meet Epic: The Bulky Wool Yarn for Projects You’ll Actually Finish

We are so excited to share our latest yarn launch, Epic! Epic is a 100% wool yarn in a heavy bulky weight, wound into gigantic 200g balls. We created this yarn especially for one thing above all: getting you from cast-on to finished object, FAST!

What Makes Epic Special?

With 87 yards per ball, working with Epic means fewer joins, fewer ends to weave in and a project that grows quickly on your knitting needles or crochet hook. Plus, at $22 a ball, it’s an easy way to treat yourself to a big, squishy, wool project without a big commitment.

It’s the Yarn for Quick Projects

Bulky weight yarn means big stitches, and big stitches mean faster progress.  Whether you knit or crochet, you’ll make a dent in your project in a single sitting. Epic is the yarn to reach for when you want a hat in a pinch, a cowl for a last minute gift, or a luxuriously soft blanket in a weekend.

It’s for the Chronic Cast-On Crowd

Are you a crafter with a project bag (or two) full of WIPs that were started with the best of intentions but never finished? We’ve all been there. A fingering weight sweater is a beautiful thing, but it can also take months. Somewhere around the second sleeve, a shiny new cast-on starts calling your name.

Epic is for knitters and crocheters who love the thrill of starting something new and want to enjoy the satisfaction of finishing it, too. Because it works up so quickly, your motivation doesn’t have time to fade! With Epic, you’ll cast on and bind off before the next new pattern idea even hits your radar.

Inspiration: Satisfyingly Fast Projects

If we told you could you start and finish an entire blanket in a weekend, would you believe us? Well, with a single ball of each of the 12 colors of Epic and weekend of knitting time, you can create this gorgeous Kaleidoscope Blanket designed by our very own Laura Zukaite.

Don’t have a full weekend free for knitting? How about a one ball project you can finish in less than 2 hours? The Expedition Hat, a simple and cozy ribbed beanie, is the perfect first project with Epic, and it’s quick enough to finish in a single evening. 

Where to Find Epic

Find Epic on our website now, or contact one of our stockists in the US or Canada to see if they carry Epic to squish it in person. Happy crafting, and more importantly, happy finishing!
