So here's the first attempt at finding a different Gourmand yarn!

This uses bernat velvet, and in this color it looks and feels a lot like ramen noodles. So I have rightfully nicknamed him ramen noodle boi.

This was my original choice for a different Gourmand yarn, but between the time I bought it and it being delivered, Premier (my usual yarn supplier) came out with more yarn colors, and some of which look like a decent candidate for Gourmand, so I'll make those and then make a decision from there.

Blue is new, pink is old. The new stuff is nowhere near as soft, and not even half as shiny or silky. The twist is different too. It looks like Lion Brand Pound of Love. But it's not priced like Pound of Love!

And Bernat Blanket Yarn is much more expensive than what I want to spend on finishing this dang thing. So I’m thinking of finding an alternative pattern. I believe something worked in the round, or square, would be ideal. But the problem is I don’t want anything that has too many holes.

Any suggestions welcome!

The yarn I am using is Bernat Blanket:

Colors I am using:
