Debbie Bliss Paloma is the kind of yarn knitters reach for when they want something deliciously soft to work with. Reviewers describe it as cushy and soft, and many say it is lovely to knit with from the first row onwards.
Customers say it knits up quickly and well, so it suits a project you want to see finished sooner rather than later. One reviewer who had not knitted for about 25 years found it very easy to knit with, which is a good sign for anyone returning to the needles or trying super chunky yarn for the first time.
The range of colours is a highlight. Buyers praise the beautiful shades, and many report that the colours look true to the images on this page, which helps when choosing between classic neutrals and brighter tones.
Stitch definition is another point reviewers mention, and one reviewer noted that the twist keeps the yarn from separating too much while knitting.
Customers have used Paloma for gloves, scarves, snoods, hats and arm warmers. One reviewer knit the Sedgwick Hat and called it stunning, and another said the finished gloves feel so cosy and warm. Many buyers also report it works well for baby blankets, where the softness matters most.
Reviewers describe the yarn as beautifully soft and easy to handle, with a smooth, pleasant feel in the hand. Several say they are already planning their next project with it, which says a lot about how enjoyable it is to knit.

I've used this yarn before and it is so soft! It knits up really well and feels and looks incredible. I love the range of colours - true to images.
I like the lovely quality and it is easy to work with. My scarf is looking good. Yes, it’s really great.
Deliciously soft, and wonderful to work with. I made a pair of gloves which feel so cosy and warm! The ordering process was so easy, and the delivery arrived in excellent time.
This yarn is cushy and soft. I was worried the wool content would make it too scratchy for a baby blanket, but it’s the perfect texture, and has good stitch definition.
Paloma is a soft bulky yarn in beautiful colors. I used a pattern found on Ravelry sponsored by Kelbourne Woolens -- Year of Bulky Hats, 12 designs. I knit the Sedgwick Hat and it is stunning.
Is easy to use and with the alpaca softness, the wool mix gives it structure.
This yarn is perfect for blankets as its loft and construction does not weight you down.
This yarn is super soft and knits super fast. Will definitely purchase again.
Replacement for another brand recommended in pattern. I found this wool to be soft and very easy to knit. Customer service was fantastic and delivery was excellent. Excellent all round
So soft knits up very quickly ideal for scarfs
