DROPS Yarn Group E: Super chunky / Super bulky

Yarn group E is DROPS's label for super chunky weight yarn, called super bulky in US patterns. Group E yarns knit to about 7–11 stitches per 10 cm in stocking stitch, so any yarn below can usually replace another in a pattern written for group E. Always knit a tension swatch first.
