yarn, hook and tools

To make the Diamond Blanket you will need:

• 22mm (T) crochet hook (or size required to obtain tension/gauge)
• 2 stitch markers
• Chunky Yarn Joining Kit
• Scissors
• Tape measure
• Iron or steamer
• Super chunky yarn – the table below includes the number of 300g skeins of Homelea Bliss yarn – you’ll need to wind your yarn skeins into balls before crocheting. Using a different yarn? Look for one that is 1cm / 0.4in thick, and you’ll need 70m / 77yds for each 300g skein of Homelea Bliss.

About the yarn:

Homelea Bliss is a super chunky / super bulky merino wool yarn that is soft and squishy, and it feels lovely against your skin. This special yarn is fully grown and processed in Australia with no overseas processing (it’s uncommon for an Australian wool yarn to not have some overseas processing).

The twist in Homelea Bliss means that what you make will be an heirloom that you will use for many, many years. It will keep its good looks for a long time, it won’t cover your home, or you, in fluff and will only pill slightly after repeated use.

Homelea Bliss is about 1cm / 0.4in thick and is available in a range of gorgeous colours.
