What type/brand yarn

[Phoebe78]

Would you use for a pull-over? The pattern calls for light weight chunky. My shopping options are very limited. I'd probably have to order online. Everything I have found in store seems too heavy or too fuzzy.

"light weight chunky" is kind of an oxymoron.  I guess some brushed yarns, like mohair, work to a chunky gauge but are very light in actual weight, so maybe that is what it means.   Does it call for a specific yarn?  What pattern is it?

Red Heart Super Saver and Caron Pounders are inexpensive, and are nearly over the line into bulky weight #5 (there's also a super bulky #6, maybe #5 is what the pattern meant).  If you've got a bit left over of one of those yarns, you could try swatching to see how close you get to the sweater gauge.

 

I've been known to not quite hit gauge, but did the math and made size X to end up with the measurements of size Y which fit.
