Brilliant quick knit - great for beginners and fabulously chunky and warm for winter. Try using two balls to knit a garter stitch scarf as your first project.
There are some wonderful Big Wool patterns from Kim Hargreaves in Heartfelt, Precious, Winter Blooms and Amber plus a great book - Winter Drift which is new this Autumn and is devoted to men's and women's patterns using either Big Wool or Drift.
