It’s a good idea to keep all your blanket making goodies together in a handy place – it’ll make it easier to keep motivated, plus they’re all so lovely to look at. I love having mine in a basket beside my favourite crocheting chair.

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.
