Hobbii Universe XL is a wonderful expansion of our über popular Universe yarn. Universe XL gives you all the same positive features, but as the name suggests, the XL version is extra thick, which offers completely new possibilities for exciting knitting and crochet projects.
The yarn is distinguished by its long gradients with beautifully balanced colors. The colors are complimented by a glitter thread in a matching color. This creates a more subdued glitter effect, making the yarn even more elegant.
Universe XL runs 220 meters per 100g, so it’s exactly twice as thick as Universe. This makes the yarn perfect for projects that need extra volume. For example, Universe XL can be ideal for a beautiful blanket or a similar project that needs to be both soft and warm.
The sky’s the limit with Universe XL, so explore our exciting color universe for yourself.
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® certified (no. 2076-311). Find more information about the certification on the https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

Bought a selection of colourways to make infinity scarves as Christmas gifts for work friends - stunning results as the colour changes and tinselly glittery bits made them look amazing!! Not the softest wool but very snazzy - worth every penny as they go a long way x
Anna
Stunning! Bought 2 of the colours to make the havskum headband & wrist warmers for gifts, love it so much I’ve since ordered several balls of 5 of the other colours! It really is so beautiful, lovely gradients and the sparkle is really pretty.
Debbie
Used universe xl to crochet crocodile scale hand warmers for a friend's birthday in 2020 and loved it! Couldn't resist the sale, so bought 3 different colours! It's beautiful! Colours are amazing and it's soooo soft!
Fiona
Bought this in the colour "supercluster" and fell in love with it immediately. It is absolutely beautiful, works great in my crochet projects and have just returned to purchase more in different colours.
Renata
This is gorgrous! I was worried it was going to be overly sparkly, but no. Just the right amount of bling. I have yo work slower with it as it splits. The colors are gorgrous.
