Yarn help needed for chunky blanket please

Hi, I'm looking to crochet a blanket for my young adult daughter's birthday next month.

I'm looking for a very/super chunky yarn - possibly chenille type but very soft. It'll be a plainish pattern along the lines of moss stitch, to keep the feel soft with no bunched up stitches. Size 8-12 hook.

I've been to the 2 wool shops within reach of me n their stock was poor so am resigned to having to order online. Feels risky as I won't be able to see/feel yarn beforehand, and haven't done a super chunky project before.

Anyone got any recommendations please? What brands work for you? Many thanks in advance.

I recently knitted a sweater with this bulky wool from hobbii, their service is great and the prices not too bad. The wool was super soft, I ordered the same brand in a lighter weight for a Christmas jumper for my son. (This is the German link but they serve the UK too, they’re actually based in Denmark).
