about the yarn
Homelea Bliss is a super chunky / super bulky merino wool yarn that is soft and squishy. 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). Homelea Bliss is about 1cm (0.4in) thick.
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.
