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. http://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Hipster+Yarn.aspx
She also shared her excitement about Alpaca Dance http://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Alpaca+DanceTM+Yarn.aspx
and Wool Naturals http://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Wool+Naturals+Yarn.aspx and
the Cotton Soft Silk is very exciting for her http://www.premieryarns.com/product/Premier+Deborah+Norville+Cotton+Soft+Silk+Silk+Multis+Yarn.aspx
and the Serenity lines especially the Serenity Socks http://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 http://www.premieryarns.com/dept/Hooks+and+Needles.aspx also Premier Yarns has an extensive list of patterns, with clear recommendations.

May 28, 2014 at 8:50 amI 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!

May 28, 2014 at 9:30 amWhat 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!!!

May 28, 2014 at 10:24 amAs I have not yet tried knitting socks I have not used Serenity. One day perhaps I will give this yarn a try.

May 28, 2014 at 12:38 pmThanks 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!
Vicki says
May 28, 2014 at 2:47 pmI 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!

May 28, 2014 at 4:42 pmGreat show! Checking out the website now. I get so much peace and serenity from knitting. Nothing relaxes me quite like it!!
Kim Fess says
May 28, 2014 at 7:53 pmOn 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.
Vicki Lynch says
May 29, 2014 at 6:32 amI 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.

May 29, 2014 at 9:28 amThank 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.

May 29, 2014 at 9:40 amMy 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.

May 29, 2014 at 9:44 pmAs 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.

May 30, 2014 at 7:59 amNot 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 =)

May 31, 2014 at 8:17 amI 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!

Sandy says
May 31, 2014 at 9:09 pmI 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.
