Novelty Yarns

 My daughters like to point to novelty yarns and say, "look, wouldn't that make a pretty......". I think they are teasing because they know I don't like to work with them. Those Nubby yarns don't slip across the hook easily.
 Yes, they do make an interesting project.
 Yes, I have worked with different novelty yarns. I used this in a double strand with some worsted weight yarn.
 It made a lovely, warm hooded scarf.
 I feel like such a babuska.
 The scarf is thick and fuzzy.
 I made the scarf long enough. Then folded it in half. Starting at the fold, I joined the sides long enough to cover the back of my head. Easy!
This 3 ply yarn is 'sport' weight. I like it for baby blankets.
Some people think the strand separates from the yarn and is hard to work, but I don't have that problem.
