Sportif is a favorite all-purpose chunky yarn that is appropriate for all techniques – it enticed me to pull out my crochet hook and try it again because it is so forgiving (I’m not a great crocheter). It has the cushiony, springy softness of wool, but is made from a tiny knitted thread so it is lighter than its finished thickness would suggest. This yarn makes the perfect winter item of any sort and the colorsways are all compatible, so don’t be afraid to play with color! -- Rox
