Our take on the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino 10 Ball Value Pack Yarn Merino Wool Sport White (100)

Baby Cashmerino is Debbie Bliss's sport-weight blend of merino wool, cashmere and acrylic, sold here as a 10-ball value pack of 50 g balls in shade White (100). Each ball runs 137 yards at a gauge of 25 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches, and it is machine washable despite the cashmere. It is a long-running favorite for baby garments and fine-gauge projects, and the 10-ball pack suits a full small garment rather than a single swatch.

Questions and answers

Is the 10-ball pack enough for a baby sweater?
Usually yes for a newborn to 12-month sweater. A small baby cardigan typically takes 4 to 6 balls at this gauge, so 10 balls covers a sweater plus a hat or booties.
Can Baby Cashmerino go in the washing machine?
Yes, it is labeled machine washable. Use a cool, gentle cycle and dry flat to keep the merino and cashmere from stretching.
What needle size should I use?
The 25 stitch / 34 row gauge is a sport-weight gauge, typically reached on US 3 to 5 needles (3.25 to 3.75 mm). Swatch first, since gauge matters more than the label size.
Is it itchy for babies?
No. The cashmere and fine merino make it soft enough for direct skin contact, which is why it is a common choice for baby garments.
How does it compare with plain merino baby yarn?
It is softer and washes better than most plain merino, but the acrylic share and higher price per ball are the trade-offs. For hard-wearing blankets, a cheaper superwash merino is more practical.
When is the best price on this pack?
Value packs usually cost less per ball than single balls, and prices dip during seasonal yarn sales. Compare the pack price against 10 single balls before buying.
