Arm knitting is a type of knitting where you use your arms instead of traditional knitting needles to create oversized stitches. It’s highly popular for making chunky blankets, scarves, cowls, and rugs using very thick yarn or roving.
* **Typical materials:** Super bulky or jumbo yarn, Merino wool roving, chenille yarn, or cotton tube yarn.

Finger knitting is a simple form of knitting that uses your fingers instead of needles. You weave yarn around your fingers to create a soft knitted cord, braid-like strands, or even flat fabric pieces.

Modern rug tufting utilizes a handheld "tufting gun" that rapidly punches strands of yarn through a tightly stretched primary backing cloth. This popular technique is widely used to create custom rugs, carpets, wall hangings, cushions, and unique decorative textile art.

Chunky yarn is a thick, bulky yarn used for fast, cozy, and highly textured projects like blankets, sweaters, scarves, baskets, and arm knitting. It became an international trend through oversized home decor and social media crafting videos.
* **Standardized Categories:** Bulky (Category 5), Super Bulky (Category 6), and Jumbo (Category 7).
* **Rule of thumb:** The thicker the yarn, the larger your stitches and the faster your project is completed.

Choosing the right tufting yarn is key to a successful, durable project. Yarns come in different materials (acrylic, cotton, wool, or blends) and various thicknesses, which directly impact your tufting technique and final texture.
* **Our Recommendation:** The top choice for high-end, long-lasting rug making is wool.

The most important rule for choosing a weighted blanket is:
**Blanket weight = roughly 10% of your body weight.**
* **Example:** If you weigh 150 lbs (~68 kg), you should choose a 15 lbs (~6.8 kg) blanket. You can select any size you prefer, as long as the weight matches your body profile.
* **Why this matters:** A blanket that is too light won't provide the calming, therapeutic pressure you need, while one that is too heavy can feel uncomfortable or restrict movement.

**Quick Tips:**
* Choose a slightly lighter option if you are sensitive to pressure, sleep hot, or are a side sleeper.
* Choose a heavier option only if you already know you prefer firm, deep pressure.
* If you are between sizes, most customers are happier going slightly lighter.
* *Custom sizes and custom weight orders are fully available upon request!*
