Another type of yarn that has always intrigued me is super bulky chenille, one of the kinds creatives use to arm-knit and arm crochet. Insead of needles or a hook you use your hand and fingers. Last month I collected these four skins from my thrifted lots to give it a try (the rose chenille turned out to be smaller than the others, so I put that one back.)
It's not difficult, as long as you go slowly and try to keep your stitches uniform. I thought the hardest part was dealing with the bulk and the weight of the piece, which increases rapidly.
The three skeins I used made this finished piece -- not bad for my first try.
It makes a nice pad for my sewing room chair. :)
