yarn, hook and tools

It’s time to fill in your Progress Worksheet again! Go to “my crochet hook size” and complete it with the info from down below.

To make your Bliss Blanket you will need:

• 15.75mm (Q) bamboo crochet hook
• 2 stitch markers
• Chunky Yarn Joining Kit
• scissors
• tape measure
• kitchen scales (for checking how much yarn you use in the first couple of rows)
• Homelea Bliss super chunky yarn (or any sized yarn) – the Planning Sheets below show how much yarn you’ll need to make one of four different colour options. They are for Homelea Bliss 100g mini skeins and 300g skeins. The Planning Sheets can be adapted to suit any yarn by working out the weight of yarn needed in a row that is 1.5m wide, and the height of 4 rows.

Download and print the Planning Sheets here, or view them below:

why Homelea Bliss merino wool yarn is special

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.
