Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is spun from quality raw materials to produce a beautiful yarn for hand knitting.

Using a blend of different fibres in a yarn allows it to embody some of the best qualities from each of the fibres used. Wool brings excellent moisture absorption, helps the finished garment breathe, is very stretchy and helps reduce static electricity. Acrylic brings excellent elasticity, helps prevent the wool from shrinking, adds strength to the wool, is light weight and quick drying. While the Cashmere is a soft, airy, luxury fibre that is very warm, light weight and adds a luxurious softness to the blend.

I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran to knit the Cable Hat.
