Colosseum Top

Weight: 5 (Bulky and Sometimes Fluffy!)

Great for: Sweaters, cardigans, decor, hats—and maybe even a chunky dress!
Bulky yarns can be smooth or super fluffy. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the fluffy kind (think Bernat Fluffee). It’s cozy, plush, and perfect for cooler weather pieces.

Weight: 4 (The Classic Standard)

Great for: Literally anything!
This is your go-to, average yarn size—the one most people picture when they think of yarn. It’s versatile and dependable, though in my opinion, the texture can sometimes be a little… basic. Still, it’s a solid choice for almost any project!

Weight: 3 (Soft and Baby-Friendly)

Great for: Also literally anything
This yarn weight is a joy to work with and comes in all sorts of textures. It’s often soft enough for baby garments, but also works beautifully for adult wearables. A quick steam can take any roughness right out!

Weight: 2 (Light and Lovely)

Great for: Tops, dresses, sleeves, and detailed pieces
I love working with this weight! It’s what I use in my Colosseum Top. It’s usually super soft and creates elegant, breathable pieces that are perfect for layering or warm-weather wear.

**Note: The smaller the yarn, the more I’ll use—and the more intricate the piece will feel. Smaller weights are also great for light and breezy wearables.
