My Comfort Yarn
Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran never disappoints. This amazing shade of Apple green looks so beautiful when knitted up to cable and bobble patterns. I am a firm supporter of this yarn.

I have recently completed 2 Aran sweaters with this yarn. When it is good it is very good, but when it is bad, it is bad! The very first ball had 3 knots, lots of thick bits which could sometimes be teased off, and also complete breaks in the yarn. The rest of that batch were ok, mostly.
Debbie Bliss Cashmerino is a wonderful yarn to both knit and crochet with. It’s so lightweight yet lovely and warm. The stitch definition is good. It is easy on the hands.
The quality and colour of the yarn is excellent. It knits up beautifully. I use it for knitting up an Aran jumper for my daughter.
I like the lovely colours and the soft texture. I'm using it for a blanket. It's more like DK than Aran, and the thickness can be variable thought the skein, which is frustrating.
It is soft yet easy to knit with. It is easy to work with. I use it for a scarf with multiple stitch changes and specific knit stitches.
Although I prefer natural fibres this aran weight Cashmerino has a lovely handle and is a joy to knit with. I'm currently making a textured shawl/ scarf snd its going to be cosy!
I'm using it for a blanket. The blanket is super warm and super pleasant to use. My earlier experience with it was all as I expect.
The service and quality I am familiar with are excellent, and I will knit a cardigan for my granddaughter who is 2 and a half years old. Maybe with fun colored buttons. Great.
I have knit some Aran sweaters for children with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. They are luxuriously soft and cozy. I loved working with this yarn because it just flies off the needles (Addi Turbo). The stitch definition was excellent and I have bought more. These are definitely heritage quality and be passed on in families provided they are washed by hand with care and lie flat to dry. I am beyond satisfied!!! /at
