… did you still remember this category?! Oh, even if I didn’t post here so long,
I’ve discovered lots of great yarn and one of my newest favorites is Cathay by
Debbie Bliss, beautifully crafted in Italy cotton/silk blend.
Yardage: 105, Fiber Content: 50% cotton, 35% viscose, 15%
silk, Stitches(st./4 in.): 22, Needle Size: 5 US, Weight: 50g
Cathay is the latest additional to the Debbie Bliss yarn family. It’s a beautiful
cotton/silk/viscose mix, a double knitting yarn with a subtle sheen and fantastic
drape that is a pure pleasure to knit with and wear.
… Inspired by Chinese silks, the mainly bright palette for the 15 shades in the
Cathay range, with the silk bringing an intensity to vivid purples, scarlet and
gold….
• cotton/silk/viscose mix creation
• perfect for every season and any projects!
• Machine washable in cold water 
great places to buy: some colors available here (but a deal!); here

What beautiful yarn colors and the texture looks so soft! Are you going to be using some of these yarns for the fall/winter sweaters? I can’t wait to see what this yarn is like in person.
I have a hot pink and lime and I’m going to use it for some spring projects… Heather, I bet you will love it! ;)
HUGS,
