Debbie Bliss yarns and knitting patterns

Inspired by everything from high fashion to historical politics, there's very little that doesn't find its way to Debbie's designs and yarns, from her love of pastry to her passionate commitment to traditional skills and brand spanking new ideas. She doesn't forget practicality, cost or what crafters love - and it always shows.

Go go go, Cashmerino!

We sing from the rooftops about the Cashmerino yarn range, because of its softness, warmth and hard working fibres. You can wash it in the machine, and you can use it for the softest baby projects to hardy cabled sweaters and it delivers. It is a blend of 55% Wool 33% Acrylic 12% Cashmere, which brings loft and structure, super softness and stability.

Baby Cashmerino is the finest in the range, in sport weight, perfect for an incredible range of baby, toddler and childrens' patterns and it's SO soft, it can be worn next to baby skin. In a colour palette of 49 shades you will find ice cream pastels and thoroughly modern baby shades alongside brights and rich earth tones, and for extra fun, there is Baby Cashmerino Tonals, a multi shade tonal yarn in the same blend.

Cool cottons for every season...

Cotton is one of Debbie's favourite fibres, it's so cool and soft next to the skin and great for anyone with allergies. The stitch definition makes it great for textural features, and there are five beautiful cotton yarns in the range to play with: Cotton DK, the most divinely soft but structured cotton yarn with a good twist; Eco Baby, a delicious sport weight cotton that is certified 100% organic and dyed with non-toxic dyes, perfect for babywear; Cotton Denim DK, perfect for fashionistas everywhere in seven shades of denim; Piper, a lightweight DK blend of cotton and viscose that has the most incredible drape with a crepe texture that feels like silk, in 14 fabulous colours that we love for warm weather wear, and the newest member of the cotton crew, Dulcie, a blend of air blown cotton, acrylic and nylon in a chunky weight that feels like c l o u d s !!! All of these cotton yarns are great for all the family, and there is a great range of patterns to make with them - Eco Baby can also be substituted for any of the Baby Cashmerino patterns!

Wonderful wool, pure and simple

There's nothing quite as structured and warm as wool, and Debbie's yarn collection includes some of the finest! Cosy, soft, beautifully hard wearing and built to last, the Rialto range includes Rialto Lace, Rialto 4ply, Rialto DK and Rialto Aran weights, and these gorgeous yarns come in rich, everyday shades that work for garments and accessories you really want to wear.

Amazing alpaca

The fibre from an alpaca fleece has different properties to wool from a sheep. It's warm, super warm in fact, and it doesn't have any lanolin in it, which is great news if you have skin sensitivities. Its long fibres bring amazing drape, so this is a fibre that works wonderfully well in garments! The first fleece of a baby alpaca is prized as being the softest, and so Aymara, Debbie's 100% baby alpaca DK weight yarn is as soft as kittens, and incredibly cosy to wear. Paloma combines baby alpaca with merino wool to create a chainette yarn that is chunky but light as air, that will trap the warmth and keep you super toasty without heaviness; it's a deliciously soft and squishy yarn.

Cosy cashmere

Cashmere is not only the warmest and cosiest of fibres, but it's also soft enough to wear next to the skin. This makes it wonderful for luxurious baby clothes - and Debbie has created a wonderful collection for her 4ply 100% cashmere baby yarn, Luna, ideal if you would love to make a special something for a new baby that can be passed on for generations. If you're a sock knitter, you will love Toast, Debbie's fabulous cashmere, wool and polyamide blend that is perfect for hardwearing, super warm socks! Use it for any 4ply sock pattern.
