Amigo Giga

Amigo Giga is an incredibly soft and airy yarn quality made from HB Acrylic. HB stands for high-bulk and describes a production technique where steam and pressure make the acrylic fibers contract and curl to make them more voluminous. The result is an even lighter and airier acrylic which is pleasant to wear.

It’s both easy and fast to work with Amigo Giga. The yarn has a lot of volume and is wound in large, chunky skeins of 150 g (5.3 oz). Knit with a pair of 9 mm needles (US 13) or a 12 mm hook (US P-15) to see quick results in your work. The chunky yarn is amazing to work with for beginners since the individual stitches are so large that it’s easy to notice and correct mistakes.

Amigo Giga is machine washable and easy to maintain. The thickness of the yarn lends itself to projects like pillows and blankets or things like chunky sweaters, soft hats, and other accessories. It’s also a great yarn to use if you want to avoid animal fibers.

You should also take a look at our other Amigo yarns. We have the yarn in different thicknesses, so you can also use it for projects that need smaller needle/hook sizes. All variants come in many beautiful colors, and the soft acrylic really soaks up the color well during the coloring process, which results in a yarn with a great depth of color that does not wash out.

The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at: https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/
