I love how the world so often provides us with things which
perfectly complement each-other: strawberries and cream, coffee and cake, and
stilton and port. I also love how the
world provides us with opposites; day and night, light and dark, hot and
cold. So, it stands to reason after my
resent purchase of the world’s worst yarn, I would come across the world’s best
yarn. Okay, the yarn in question might
not be the very best in the world; but in my world it is up-there, right and
the top. The yarn crochets the cutest
little flower brooches…
What is the yarn? I here you ask. It is a baby alpaca, merino mix, which the
very talented Debbie Bliss has combined together to bring us Paloma. It is fantastic! The yarn has already been worked together once,
and looks almost plaited…
Do you see what I mean? If you look closely at the green and purple, can you see how the colour
isn’t solid? It is a blend of different
colours and shades; this just makes the yarn even better.
The yarn isn’t new to me, I actually first came across it at Harrogate,
last year. I crocheted it into a Christmas tree. Then in the true tradition of
yarn, it was put away in my stash draw and forgotten about. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago, and it
screamed crochet me into a flower. So that is what I did! I crocheted with a small hook (the
recommended is 10mm) and love the result which looks almost felted. Perhaps the best thing about the yarn is the
range of colour which is available….
Go on treat yourself, to some Debbie Bliss Paloma, you won’t
be disappointed
