Cygnet Super Chunky Acrylic Yarn - Black | Soft & Durable for Braiding & Hair Crafts | 100g / 3.53oz
Yarn braids and faux locs need a yarn that behaves nothing like fibre hair. Acrylic grips against itself, which is why a wrapped loc stays put without glue, and why yarn styles hold for weeks.
This is Cygnet's super chunky weight in a flat black, 100g to the ball. The chunky gauge is what you want for braiding rather than knitting, because it builds volume quickly and you get through a head in fewer strands.
It is soft enough against the scalp for a style you are wearing for a month, and the acrylic resists fraying and shedding at the ends. Black stays black through washing rather than fading out at the tips.
Used for yarn braids, wrapped faux locs and colour accents fed through fibre braids. It suits any texture from wavy to coily, because the yarn does the work rather than your own curl pattern.

Application tips
Cut your lengths before you begin, longer than the finished style needs, because wrapping and sealing eat more yarn than you expect.
Split a strand into three for a plain braid, or keep it whole and coil it round the hair for a loc. Feed it in at the root with your own hair rather than knotting it on top. To take it down, snip the sealed ends and unpick from the bottom.
Results
One ball covers a section rather than a whole head, so buy for the style you have in mind.
The chunky gauge fills out fast, which means fewer strands to install and a shorter session in the chair. Finished styles sit light, hold their shape through weeks of wear, and the matte finish reads as hair rather than craft supply under normal light.
