My first time with thick yarn

Good day! I want to share with you my feelings concerning work with very thick yarn. Maybe, I'm quite old-fashioned, but I've tried to work with thick yarn just yesterday! But look what I got: Very fast and simply made rug. But it looks so cozy! Now I want to make a plaid of thick merino wool!

The rug looks like it would be very nice and soft underfoot and warm in the winter time.
