Arm-knitted chunky merino throws from Ukrainian makers — the centrepiece of a hygge sofa.
Our story
Chunky merino is knitted not with needles but with the maker's own arms — the thick, soft yarn is looped arm over arm into a generous, cloud-soft throw. It is a slow, hand-made craft, and the result is a piece that belongs on a sofa: deep, warm and inviting, the heart of a hygge corner. Khutro works with Ukrainian makers who knit each throw this way, so every one is soft, sturdy and made by hand.
Where it comes from
Arm-knitted chunky merino throws from Ukrainian makers, the centrepiece of a hygge sofa.
Thick merino wool is knitted by hand using the maker's arms in place of needles, which gives the throw its loose, cloud-soft stitch. It is then lightly finished so it holds its shape while staying soft and warm.
Drape it over a sofa or armchair for the hygge centrepiece, or use it as a warm layer on cool evenings. Hand-wash gently in cool water and dry flat, and it will keep its softness for years.
Yes — every throw is arm-knitted by hand by a Ukrainian maker. No two are quite identical, which is part of what makes them special.
Pure merino wool, a soft and hard-wearing fibre prized for comfort. The thick yarn is what gives the throw its chunky, cloud-like feel.
Merino is a smooth, fine wool that sheds little. It is finished carefully at the workshop, and gentle care keeps it soft and smooth for years.
Hand-wash gently in cool water with a wool-safe soap and dry flat out of direct sun. Chunky knits hold their shape best when dried flat.
Very — chunky merino wool is thick and soft, and traps warmth beautifully. It is the cosy, warm layer at the heart of a hygge corner.
Instead of needles, the maker uses their own arms to loop the thick merino yarn into the throw. It is a slow, hand-made process that gives the throw its loose, cloud-soft stitch.
