Deborah Norville Serenity: Knitter and Crocheter

Deborah Norville Serenity Knitter and Crocheter

Busy lady that she is finds like the rest of us that she likes to knit or crochets on the go! How did she arrive at that point?

Working on Inside Edition, she revealed she’s been knitting or crocheting carpet yarn from her dad’s factory in Georgia. She was approached by Premier Yarn to create a yarn line under her name. Deborah was incredulous to learn that Deborah Norville Yarn has just sold it 6 millionth skein! Although some of it’s acrylic, it’s surprising how soft it is, and great for charity work like Project Linus, where becomes a cherished item for years to come. It’s really well known who know Deborah’s yarn because of it’s availability and affordability. The line comes in many different weights from Super Fine to Super Bulky! She is happy with the original offerings of acrylic yarn, but the natural fibers are exciting. 

Hipster is a new line, that’s 90% bamboo with the rest polymide, that has a lovely drape. Deborah is currently making something for her daughter out of it. https://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Hipster+Yarn.aspx

She also shared her excitement about Alpaca Dance https://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Alpaca+DanceTM+Yarn.aspx

and Wool Naturals https://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Wool+Naturals+Yarn.aspx and

the Cotton Soft Silk is very exciting for her  https://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Cotton+Soft+Silk+Silk+Multis+Yarn.aspx

and the Serenity lines especially the Serenity Socks https://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Serenity+Sock+Yarn.aspx

but they shared their love for the colors in Saturate  ww.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Saturate+Yarn.aspx.

Her line also includes Hooks and Needles https://www.premieryarns.com/dept/Hooks+and+Needles.aspx  also Premier Yarns has an extensive list of patterns, with clear recommendations.

    I appreciated this interview! First of all, I’ve never seen Inside Edition, so I just know Deborah’s name from the yarn line. I don’t think I’ve really given this yarn line a chance because, I was thinking because of the price point it couldn’t be good quality, but after hearing Deborah’s excitement about the different yarns I will give it a try. I love the peace and serenity that knitting brings to me, and I can’t wait to explore it more with Deborah Norville’s yarn & needles!

    What a wonderful interview!!!! I so love Deborah’s yarn line. Serenity yarns are amazing and I have made multiple projects out of the yarns. I love how soft and washable they are. Knitting Halos of Hope hats are just some of what I have knit out of the yarns. I look forward to trying your needles in the near future!!!

    Thanks for another great show. I checked out Deborah’s Serenity Sock yarn and I am adding to my project list a pair for myself in the mint color! WOW! I can’t wait to get to my craft store to check out her new line of needles. I need to get double pointed needles to make my new socks! 🙂 Can’t wait for the next show!

    I really enjoyed your interview with Deborah Norville. I checked out her yarns and am really interested in trying out a few of them. I think the Hipster yarn would make a lovely hippie vest for my granddaughter, Serenity. And, maybe a matching one for me!

    On Seinfeld Frank Costanza was advised to say “serenity now” aloud every time his blood pressure was in danger of going up. When that happens to me, I knit. It never fails to calm me down.

    I was so excited to knit with your Serenity yarn after hearing a podcast about a year ago, that I ordered enough for several pairs of socks. Now I’d like to try your needles too. Your passion for the craft comes through so well in your interviews. I’d like to try some of your new yarns too. I love that you keep the prices affordable.

    Thank you, Marly, for having Deborah Norville on the show! I really like her yarns and have enjoyed knitting with her Serenity yarns! I also really enjoy that she understands that price point really is important to many of us in this day and age and allows us to have such wonderful yarns at great prices and can knit/crochet with her yarns enjoying blissful serenity knowing that we’re not breaking the savings account to be able to enjoy knitting/crocheting.

    My mother and I enjoyed the podcast as usual. Informative, interesting, and amusing all at the same time. I immediately checked out Deborah’s yarn line and I definitely will be purchasing some in the future, you can never have too much yarn. I, too, find a lot of peach and serenity when working with good yarns and creating items to give to my friends and family.

    As I was listening to this podcast, a violent storm struck my area, knocking out our electric. Luckily most of my electronics were charged. This podcast was a time of serenity for me as I could listen while getting things back up and running. Love the sock yarn! I’ve made several baby projects for gifts recently.

    Not usually a fan of acrylics but many of my special loved ones, my mom and husband, I have found out the hard way are allergic to everything natural, including Alpaca. So, I can’t wait to check out the serenity line and it is great to hear that it wears well too. Thanks again for a lovely show and thanks to Deborah for promoting our lovely industry =)

    Another great interview, Marly! I love how Deborah is so enthusiastic about her yarns. You can tell she really gets excited when talking about them.

    I find serenity in using Deborah Norville yarns. I loved listening to this episode and hearing about all the different yarns available from natural fibers to the synthetic. I am thankful for the integrity she provides with her yarns. I look forward to many more projects with her yarns and owning a few of her hooks too!

    I so enjoyed listening to Deborah Norville on the podcast. I love the softness of the Serenity Garden Yarn. It made up into a pretty crochet shell scarf. And the Serenity Baby is so beautiful. But my favorite Debirah Norville products are the knitting needles. They are super to use.
