daft scarf Bernat Glaxy colour lot "Deep Space"

I adore yarn like this. bulky, textured, fuzzy yarn. I crocheted this in an evening. It's two balls of yarn. I need at least one more and then I will have a scarf done.



So i'm on tap for three more scarves - [livejournal.com profile] drayce wants a long, wide scarf in black, I'm saying that she should go with an ultra bulky chenille velour fabric. [livejournal.com profile] strigoitemplar doesn't exactly know what yarn he wants, but I also picture a chenille for him--something he can tuck into the collar of his coat. [livejournal.com profile] uranyx told me I should surprise him.

hee hee hee hee hee.

but I like bulky because it crochets up FAST. all I did for this one is double chain stitch on a 6.5 hook, and every row added another inch to the length. I adore the daftness of this yarn - this one, deep space reminds me of all those impressive nebula pictures, but i'd also love to get my hands on a good supply of comet and earth in this fibre.

bernat also makes a wonderful chunky velour that I think would work well for the scarf drayce wants - drayce I checked it's bernat velour and you will need at least four balls of it even though it looks super huge and yes there is black!
