We think giant yarn skeins are really fun! And here’s a MEGA skein with an incredible 400 g (14 oz) at an incredible price! Meet the Aran version of the popular Mega Ball. It’s the same great quality, just thicker. You get 700 meters (765 yards) in these skeins, so you’re sure not to run out, even on the largest projects. Knit or crochet away without having to weave in too many ends.
Mega Ball Aran is Oeko-tex certified and is spun by one of the best producers of acrylic yarns in the world. Forget about stiff and itchy acrylic! Mega Ball Aran is delicate and comfortable and feels nice and soft against your skin. The possibilities are endless; use it for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, and hats. Knit or crochet a soft, warm blanket or other interiors.
With a wide range of beautiful colors, you have plenty of opportunities to create beautiful color combinations, e.g., intricate diagram designs, muted or vivid stripes, etc.
Mega Ball Aran is practical and easy to maintain since it’s machine washable at 104 degrees F. And if you want to avoid animal fibers, then the entire line of Classic Acrylic is a great choice.
Do you prefer the same yarn in smaller skeins? Then check out our Classic Acrylic Aran. It’s the same quality, just in bags of 5 100 g (3.5 oz) skeins.
Pro tip: due to the skein's size, we recommend starting it from the outside. Starting the yarn from the center might cause more tangles as the center part might collapse on itself once you have used a little bit of yarn.
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at: https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

I purchased the Mega ball Aran yarn as an economical choice to try out a poncho pattern. It is a beautifully soft yarn that is lovely to work with. I love the range of colours available, this time I chose 29 Walnut and 28 Beach. I’ll definitely buy this yarn again, especially for larger projects where it is very economical.

I keep on coming back for this yarn! I have bought three Soft Mint (07) and three Black (26) to knit with two strands for a giant, super chunky, warm blanket! I cannot recommend this yarn enough! My favourite part is how few ends there are to weave in! Gorgeous colour range and so so soft!
Janice
Loved using this yarn, the mega ball of Aran weight yarn is very generous, crocheted up with ease and felt lovely to the touch as I was working with it. The finished item ,a sunflower inspired bedspread, looks and feels absolutely wonderful. Very proud of my sunflower bedspread.

Mega ball 400g Cream (colour no. 2) , 1 ball to make a short sleeves top( Uk size 8), just simply combined 2 rectangles then crochet the sleeves. It’s warm and soft, easy to handle, user friendly for beginners. Colours very nice and just same as the screen shows.
Andy
Very generous size, and good value for money. The yarn is easy to knit up, and the colours are well represented in the photos. More than enough to make a matching scarf and hat (and maybe even some mittens if you're making them for a smaller-sized person).
