Chunky Knit Merino Pillow Kit

We’ve created a pencil Merino wool suitable for knitting and built up a chunky, over-sized knit pillow that’s just perfect for your cozy bed or couch. Knit this guy up with a simple seed stitch to be a square or lumbar style pillow. This chunky roving-style yarn (but spun so that it won’t aggressively fall apart on you as you work) is an ecru, neutral white and is so lovely to work with. It’s 100% 19.5 micron Merino wool.

To add additional artisan support to this materials kit, we’re pairing the yarn with size US50 (25mm) handmade wooden needles.

Purchasing this materials kit requires mixing the skills of our Cozy Knit Pillows Workshop and our Arm Knitting Workshop. This kit DOES NOT come with instructions on pillow size, pattern, or how to knit. Using a seed stitch and following Alison’s knitting guidance from her video tutorial, we knit up chunky wool pillows that fit both a lumbar and square throw pillow and customize them for the home. They’re cozy and gorgeous.

This materials kit includes:

• 1.5lb chunky ecru of bulk roving yarn, balled and ready to knit with (this easily makes a large 16×24″ lumbar pillow or a 20×20″ throw pillow)
• a set of size 50 US wooden circular knitting needles

Please note we highly recommend having participated in our Cozy Knit Pillow Workshop with Alison to ensure you have the instruction to knit and assemble this pillow. Our example shares a simple seed stitch that knits up in a couple of hours.

Happy making.
