El Gigante lives up to its name, a proper super bulky, 100% merino wool yarn in bold, richly layered colourways, the kind of yarn that makes a project disappear in an evening rather than weeks. It is the yarn to reach for when you want something warm and substantial on the needles or the hook without the usual wait.
Why You'll Love It
✔ 100% merino wool, soft against the skin even at this chunky a weight
✔ Bold, richly layered colourways that do a lot of the design work on their own
✔ A genuine super bulky, so projects knit or crochet up fast
✔ Works equally well on needles or a hook, so it suits however you craft

Quick, cosy projects like chunky scarves, cowls and throws, and anyone after a fast, satisfying make that still feels properly woollen rather than synthetic. It also suits beginners, since the chunky gauge makes stitches easy to see and fix as you go.
A yarn for when you want to see real progress fast, without giving up the warmth and feel of proper merino.

Let customers speak for us
from 201 reviewsI absolutely love the tool. It's gorgeous looking and very helpful. The tape is wider than usual ones. Doesn't get tangled
Decided to check out the store while on vacation in Singapore and it did not disappoint. It was well stocked with beautiful displays and showed the diversity of quality yarns. As I’m new to crocheting, Cecilia spent over a hour patiently explaining things to me and helping me select some beautiful skeins and shawl pins. Overall, a lovely store with excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will return anytime I’m in Singapore.
Nice colour, soft, easy to knit
Honestly, it was a great experience. I would love to go again during the next holidays, so I will start saving up ;)
All the Designs are what I wanted!
Such a lovely yarn to work with, and the sheen!
I am always extremely pleased using Furls Odyssey Crochet hooks as they are faultless! This one wasn’t the first purchased and I am sure it will not be the last. My parcel was delivered very fast, coming from the other half of the world ! Thank you Yarning Hearts! Good job, good job!
These organic yarn comes in pretty pastel and bright colours with a light sheen. The cottony soft and smooth texture feels comfortable against the skin. We are very happy with the buy!
Great value for the sturdy material and quantity. Comes in lovely colors too!
Furls Odyssey hooks are terrific.
The hook I purchased from Yarning Hearts is beautiful and I was pleasantly surprised at the swiftness of its arrival.
Knitpro Natural Yarn Dispenser
Very soft and squishy, can imagine would be very cozy to wear next to skin. And it feels good on the hands to knit with too.
Great quality yarn, fast delivery. Perfect for my baby blanket project
Really nice colours with soft texture. Love this yarn
Handy, good design and well crafted leather. Good value for money!!
