Angel by Debbie Bliss
Soft and light as a feather, Angel is a sublime blend of 76% super kid mohair and 24% silk that creates a lace weight gossamer fibre, just right for delicate romantic designs. This yarn feels absolutely gorgeous to the touch and is available in a beautiful range of colours. Angel will knit or crochet into beautiful garments and accessories including the designs in the accompanying pattern book "Angel" and "Victorian Lace Today" packed with amazing shawls and wraps. Create a treasured gift for a special friend or a luxurious treat for yourself - we love it! Being lace weight each ball has a tremendous meterage and as the gauge of mohair yarns is so versatile, knit to any mohair pattern - such as Rowan Kidsilk Haze or Sublime Kid Mohair, just double-check your tension first.

Eco Cotton by Debbie Bliss
Debbie Bliss has begun her Eco Fairtrade Collection with an aran cotton. It has been manufactured from organic cotton with an ecologically and socially conscious process through the Bio Re textile chain. The yarn is dyed with non toxic dyes in recyclable water which has given Debbie the opportunity to have a wonderfully vibrant palette still within the organic concept. Organic cotton yarns are notoriously difficult to produce, so it's brilliant to have a bright, colourful yarn with such ethical credentials. Now that Eco Baby has arrived, this original Eco has been re-named Eco Aran, so ballbands maybe different, but the yarn is the same!

Eco Baby Cotton Yarn by Debbie Bliss
Debbie Bliss began her Fairtrade Collection with Eco aran and here is the new arrival to the range - Eco Baby. The cotton yarn is a heavy 4ply/light DK (the same as her famous baby cashmerino). It has been manufactured from 100% organic cotton with an ecologically and socially conscious process through the Bio Re textile chain. The cotton yarn is dyed with non toxic, non carcinogenic dyes and the water is recycled and rendered drinkable by Idra (a non profit making organization). This dyeing process has given Debbie the opportunity to have a wonderfully vibrant palette still within the organic concept. Organic cotton yarns are notoriously difficult to produce, so it's brilliant to have a bright, colourful yarn with such ethical credentials.

Debbie Bliss Magazine Spring/Summer 2011
Debbie says, "Welcome to the new Debbie Bliss Magazine! Beginning with this issue, all of the projects in our fashion section will be brand new, designed solely for these pages. We'll also bring you more up-front features as well, starting with an article on mohair and also on the huge revival in lace knitting. To reflect this interest in lace, we've included lovely designs featuring the technique in A Fine Romance, all of them showcasing my beautiful new Angel yarn, a blend of superfine kid mohair and silk. To welcome in Spring, there's Fabulous Florals, which lets even those of us without a green thumb get our garden fix. If you feel that your intarsia know-how is not up to tackling some of these designs, have no fear, there's a colour workshop to help you out. There are home ideas in In Living Colour and the dynamic stripes, florals and geometric patterning in The Kids Are All Bright.” There is a lovely contrast in this issue between rich, bright cottons and soft, floaty Angel mohair as well as all the great features - a lovely issue. £4.95

Debbie Bliss Magazine Fall/Winter 2011
Debbie says "Welcome to the new Fall/Winter 2011 Debbie Bliss Magazine! One of the stranger aspects of working in the fashion-magazine world is that you are always planning six months ahead. So as you read this I have already designed collections in my spring 2012 yarns, shot most of the upcoming spring/summer issue, and chosen the new ranges for autumn/winter 2012! Meanwhile, if you don't feel like leaping into any major projects at the moment, have a look at the knits in Feel the Wrapture - six pieces to enfold yourself in, most of which won't take you too many evenings to knit up. Similarly, the pretty little tops in 'Party Girls' will take you next to no time to complete; worked in my beautiful Angel mohair, they will be light on your lap as well. One of the most intriguing trends recently has been the return to 'Make Do and Mend', and Kate Haxell has written a fascinating article that combines the history behind the initiative and her own experience of drawing stocking "seams" up her legs after listening to her grandmother's stories of wartime domestic hardships. Perhaps we don't need to go to those lengths, but making do is a good lesson to learn, and it was refreshing to see that when Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, visited Canada earlier in the year, she was wearing High Street dresses (some of them more than once!), had dispensed with a large retinue and did her own makeup. So I am off now to darn some socks, change the buttons on a shirt and start planning for the six months ahead. £4.95

Debbie Bliss Magazine Fall/Winter 2010

This is the fifth by Debbie Bliss and once again she has produced a beautiful, colourful issue to get us into that autumnal feel. She says, "What better way to greet the new season than with a burst of colour! Banish greys and dreary hues, pick up your needles and knit yourself a new mood. With so much talk of knitting being dropped from the school curriculum in the Shetland Islands, I thought this would be the perfect time to seek out new designers who are reworking and reenergising the traditional Fairisle technique. Luckily for me, I saw Anna Wilkinson's work at a consumer show and promptly fell in love with her vibrant take on the classic patterning; I immediately commissioned two projects for "Scottish Eccentrics", one of which appears on the cover of the magazine." Along with the Fairisles are some brilliant Argyle and tartan pieces that really zing with colour, relaxing chunky weight sweaters, stylish knits for men, cute accessories for babies including the cutest teddy dressed in a bunny outfit (I kid you not!), thick chunky cabled scarves, tweedy jackets and capes and beautiful red, white and blue Nordic inspired accessories including hot water bottle covers, bags, cushion and bootees. Debbie uses yarns from a selection of her ranges which include classic DK, aran and chunky weights, so easy to substitute with yarns in your stash.

Debbie Bliss Magazine Fall/Winter 2009
This is the third magazine by Debbie Bliss and she seems quite excited, ?It's my favourite time of the year again. I have some great designs in this issue to take you into the new season, with updated country classics in "The Need for Tweed". I've carried on the traditional theme in the home feature "Britannia Rules" using stitch patterns from around the British Isles in projects incorporating cables, Fair Isle, tartan and argyle and including right-on-trend Union Jack cushions. Who hasn't at some point been undecided about whether to dress up or down? In "Putting on the Ritz" you'll find smart, elegant jackets that are perfect for any occasion and will add sophistication to your wardrobe. "The New Softies" features his-and-her designs for the ultimate in relaxed knits. If you'd like to give something handcrafted to a child as a holiday gift but not sure how well received a sweater would be, look no further than the irresistible animal scarves in "Animal Planet". On the fibre front, I am introducing two new yarns this season, Donegal Luxury Tweed Chunky, a rustic but beautifully soft wool/angora mix and Fez, an extrafine merino/camel combination that knits like a dream and is perfect for colorwork. I have always loved the designer Ingrid Tait. In her interview with Karin Strom in "My Knitting Friends", she shares fascinating information about her design process and talks about how much she is influenced by the traditions and landscapes of her Orkney.? £3.75

Donegal Tweed by Debbie Bliss
The Donegal Tweed collection is a range of elegant knits that encompass all the key silhouettes - sleek and tailored, generous and cosy. Debbie has used all her favourite classic stitches but interpreted them in a contemporary style, with city slicker jackets in the aran weight and enveloping coats in the chunky. Since this book was published Debbie has introduced the Luxury Tweeds to her range and these knit to exactly the same tensions as these original Donegal Tweeds. You could also use any standard chunky or aran yarns such as our Texere Chunky Wool, Airedale Aran,Troon Tweed Aran or any of the budget aran and chunkies we have available. Perfect for some timeless and classic designs regardless of the yarn you choose. £7.50

The Big Easy by Debbie Bliss
As you may have guessed from the title this is a pattern book crammed with generous shaped garments that are perfect for slouching around in at the weekend. It's the first of Debbie's books to introduce the Luxury Tweed range and also uses chunky yarns such as Como and Alpaca Silk aran. The 13 designs are texture-packed coats, jackets and cardigans, snuggly sweaters, luxurious legwarmers and the funky cape coat. With the exception of the Como designs all the other garments use standard weight aran and chunky thickness yarns. Of course we sell the Luxury Tweeds, but if you fancy an alternative there is our own Texere Chunky Pure Wool or luxurious Airedale Aran and Troon Tweed Aran. The Como is a lightly spun wool blend which Twilley's Freedom Wool is very similar to - it's not quite as luxurious, but comes in a fabulous colour range and makes a great substitute. £7.50
