A chunky knit sweater is defined by its thick yarn, large, prominent stitches, and soft, cozy texture. Unlike finer or lightweight sweaters, it provides exceptional warmth and a relaxed, oversized feel that has made it a favorite in many wardrobes. However, the bulky construction and textured yarn make these sweaters more susceptible to damage, such as snags, friction from bags or belts, pet claws, or general wear and tear over time.
