Answer:

No, not technicallyIm always bored, and my family or friends never occcur to me as boring! Bored just means you dont have anything to do:]] Sealed With a Cherry, CherryLuffer.
The yarns I like best for hats that keep their shape are Lion Brand Vanna's Choice (100% acrylic), Plymouth Encore (25% wool and 75% acrylic), and Cascade 220 Superwash Wool (100% wool)Red Heart Supersaver (100% acrylic) will definitely keep its shape, although it's more difficult to knit withI'd avoid Simply Soft or anything drapey because it won't keep its shapeIf you live in parts of the country where really cold means in the range of 25°F to 40°F and it seldom snows (where I live), any fiber will do and 100% acrylic will do just fineIf your area gets colder than that and you deal with regular snowfalls, you'd do better to use a yarn that is at least 25% woolWool keeps its warmth even when it's wet, so a hat that's 100% or even 25% wool will do a better job of keeping the heat in even if you're out in the snow.
