What I'm about to say here in this blog post is quite controversial. It's a loaded issue that makes me sick to think about, talk about, heck, knit with. Here I go...I hate the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Line. Why does this upset me so much?
1. I personally find Debbie Bliss, a charming and dear woman who I would invite into my home 365 days/year. She and I have had many a laugh over a Gin & Tonic and a fine meal. I love her.
2. I sell alot of the yarn in my shop. Alot. Tons. Look at it! Great colors. Soft. Washable. Pretty stitch definition. Blahblahblah.
3. Working for KFI, I sold alot of this yarn to shops shouting from the rooftops about it's virtues. It's perfect yarn! Soft. Washable. Deep pattern support. Debbie is the best! I financially benefited. The shops financially benefited.
But let's face it folks, the yarn lets you down. After only a few wearings, your sweater, or mittens, or hat, or scarf...will Pill! And PILL PILL! PILL! PILL! Like, really badly. I cannot, in good conscience, promote or encourage or knit with this yarn anymore. But, at the same time, I feel like I've lost a good friend. God, I hope Sion Elalouf (Pres. of KFI) isn't readiing this right now. Or Debbie B. for that matter. Please forgive me.
