So I've been using Lion Brand's homespun chunky/bulky yarn and I hate it! It's so lofty that I'm having issues seaming. I can barely see the stitches because of the fuzziness. I've used this yarn for my amigurumi. It comes out nice, but the seaming part is just difficult because of this yarn.

If any of you knit/crochet with chunky/bulky yarn, could you please recommend a good yarn brand that isn't lofty? I just posted this question in like, 4 other different crafting guilds because I'm VERY desperate.

My favs for chunky yarn (but they are a little hard to find: )

Plymouth Galway chunky (wool)
Plymouth Encore chunky (acrylic/wool)
Rowan Plaid (Acrylic/wool/alpaca)
