Eskimo sub?

modelwidow · Eskimo sub?

I keep seeing patterns made from Drops/Garnstudio Eskimo, but being a lazy so and so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for a machine washable sub?

I've had a look around but the only one I can find is Robin Super Chunky - but it doesn't seem to be available anymore Rolling Eyes

Eskimo seems to be a super bulky/chunky 10-13 st to 4" on 8mm needles

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm hopeless at subbing MW. I hope someone comes along soon with some recommends. Have you tried Yarndex?

Patons Caressa express is 11st on 8mm (still a few shades at Kemps for 99p). Sirdar -Denim Ultra, plus their Nova/Supa Nova/Stampata, all discontinued, but still available on sale.

Lidls did that chunky a while back. that was 11st too.

Has Franney subbed for Eskimo recently?? I think she used an RYC yarn that's been discontinued as well if I remember rightly. Cool

I think she's using the RYC Soft Tweed isn't she for the cabley jumper?? RKM used to have it very cheap and Cucumberpatch too.

Thank you everyone, some great ideas (and prices there) off to investigate further.

Harrysmum, I tried Ravelry, but didn't think of good old google Embarassed
