*Chenille Thick & Quick®
(Article #950).
91% acrylic, 9% rayon; package size: Solids: N/A; 100 yd/90m; Prints: N/A; 75 yd/68m Because of the nature of this yarn, we only give the
length, not the weight of the product, as the number of ounces can
vary due to the textures of the skein.
9 sts + 12 rows = 4" (10 cm) in Pattern.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

Autumn Throw Reviewed by Linda D Mansker on 2011-12-20
This is one of my faves to make. I've been knitting and crocheting for decades, so I found this quite easy to make. I've done it four times now, in the original color way, doubled up in blues, doubled up in purples, and in light neutrals. The double throws were given away as wedding presents for two.
The finished look of the finished throw is rich, thick and warm. As some of the other reviewers note, the resulting fabric is heavy, but that's what I love about it - the winters where I am are cold, and this is a great throw to snuggle under with a good book, or to watch old movies with my sweetie. I'm definitely making this one again.
