The Yarn
I love the soft fuzziness of this Bernat Blanket Yarn. The yarn is easy to find and inexpensive.
There are lots of color choices too: blues, greens, grays, lavender, and more. There are also solid colors, as well as, other multi-colored yarn choices.
The color I had of Seafoam Shiplap, I think is discontinued. I could find it online. I was gifted this yarn.
The self striping ombre chunky chenille yarn is great because you get lots colors without having to change colors. There are less ends to weave in.
I found this super bulky yarn is a little hard to work with because it is fuzzy. You have to feel with your hook or your finger for the next stitch space.
