"Dreams Chunky is a really exciting yarn. The base yarn is dyed to form broad, softly shaded stripes as you knit, while tonal neps add flecks of colour and interesting texture to the surface of your knitting. There are four casual, cosy double-sided patterns to support the yarn (eight designs)." Simply Knitting February 2010
