Big Twist Value Worsted Weight Yarn
Big Twist Value is the affordable acrylic yarn in this brand. It’s also the #4 medium weight yarn, which makes it the most popular.
Many of us are close to the large craft stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Joann. You can get Big Twist Yarn at your local Joann’s (if you’re close to one) or you can shop for it online. The best part about working with this yarn is the huge variety of beautiful colors available.
It’s like Red Heart Super Saver in the way that there are an abundance of colors to choose from. This makes finding just the right color for that perfect gift so much easier.
Crochet Patterns in Big Twist Value
I use Big Twist yarn in my Sunset Sweater crochet pattern which is a free sweater pattern here on the blog. This crochet pullover features four colors of Big Twist Value Yarn that resemble the sunset.
The skill level for this pattern is marked as intermediate since it features a special stitch. But I include video tutorials if you’re feeling up to the challenge! The rest of the patterns I include in this list are easy!
That cowl neck is uber cozy, but definitely a yarn eater, so using Big Twist value yarn makes this sweater more affordable.
I first found Big Twist when designing the Hygge Homebody Cardigan. This long length cardigan pattern pairs great with leggings, which makes it a wardrobe staple for those chilly mornings dropping the kids at school.
I chose just one color, Dusty Rose for this cardigan. I use 5 skeins of Big Twist value (a worsted weight yarn) for the medium size in the picture here.
If you’re looking for smaller crochet projects, the Coffee Been Cup Cozy is a quick one that use the same worsted weight Big Twist value yarn.

Dye Lot
Remember when purchasing a large amount of yarn, for crochet blankets or garments, to check the dye lot on the yarn label. This is a number that’s assigned to each skein of yarn from the same batch of dye – or coloring process.
