I made a baby blanket with this. I love the feel of this yarn and it has good stitch definition. I love knitting with this. It makes the knitter look good! And beautiful colors to boot! The only negative is the smallish yardage.

Soft and Cushy, but NOT Well-Wearing
This yarn is great to knit with, but it doesn't hold up well once knit up. The finished fabric is extremely pilly and quite fragile. Perhaps perfect for a scarf or hat, but ...Read complete review
This yarn is great to knit with, but it doesn't hold up well once knit up. The finished fabric is extremely pilly and quite fragile. Perhaps perfect for a scarf or hat, but not recommended for a sweater or mitts or anything else that must endure abrasion.

Very good quality yarn, soft and squishy feel, used it to make a fisherman-style vest and the stitch detail looked fabulous. Would definitely purchase again in more colors.

I made the turban shown on the cover of the Debbie Bliss Spring/Summer 2013 magazine. It's so soft; dones not scratch. This turban is warm. I've received many compliments on it.

Comments about Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran:
This yarn feels lovely on the ball. And it feels lovely as you are knitting, like plump velvet running through your fingers.
But... it is one of the worst-wearing yarns that I have ever beheld. Do not use it for anything that gets *any* abrasion (sweaters, mittens, socks, etc), as the yarn will stretch, pill, and look shabby nearly instantaneously. If you are knitting something large, then beware, you will watch your knitting age before your eyes. Ask me how I know. Sigh.
The only items for which I could recommend this yarn are hats and scarves. But what's the point of its superwash labeling? It seems reasonable that one can splurge on all sorts of luscious (hand-wash only) fibers for accessories that don't need frequent washing. So why would you choose this yarn above such others?
So, my conclusion is that this yarn is good for fondling and little else. Maybe appropriate for a scarf for someone who has no idea that wool comes from sheep, etc.

Comments about Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran:
This yarn, and any cashmerino weights, is not worth the time put into knitting. The finished product looks old and worn almost immediately, and the abraision from just carrying the knitting around was awful.

Comments about Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran:
I just love this yarn! It is easy to work with & works up beautifully! I have made many hats for friends & head warmers for the nurse's at the hospital where my daughter works. They have placed many orders for more in different colors!
If it is laundered properly it stays beautiful!
