I ordered Deborah Norville Serenity Chunky Weight for the first time from Joann.com just to give it a try. I liked working with it so I designed this hat with it. It is soft to the touch and I like the weight of it. Bulky yarn is satisfying to work with because you can really fly right through your project and you get to enjoy your finished item pretty quickly.
