Why To Use Bulky Yarn

Bulky yarn is thicker, so it makes your crocheting work go faster and finish your cute crab friend in less time than it would take with thinner yarn. Plus, the thicker yarn gives your crab a cuddly and cozy feel, making it even more adorable and huggable. And, because it's bulkier, the stitches are easier to see and work with, which is perfect if you're still getting the hang of crocheting. So, with bulky yarn, you'll have a bigger, softer, and more lovable crab in no time!
