Meet Debbie Abrahams
Debbie Abrahams is a specialist in the field of colour work and beading and is best known for her Mystery Blanket and Cushion Clubs which have been become a global success with over one thousand knitters from all over the world signed up to her annual projects: “Blanket squares are the perfect vehicle for my designing, giving me the freedom to explore colour, texture and embellishment within a set number of stitches and rows for each block – it’s just pure adventure!” Throughout her entire 20+ year career she has worked alongside renowned handknit company Rowan Yarns, both as a Designer and a Design Consultant for the brand.
On Debbie’s website at www.debbieabrahams.com – you will find bright colourful knitted home and fashion accessories, which are embellished with sparkling beads from her own bead collection: “To me it is important to work with high quality yarns and embellishments so that the whole knitting experience is a treat from start to finish. Colour is my passion so Rowan are the perfect match for me with their beautiful fibres and mouth-watering colour palettes.”
The pictures show the 2021 One Thousand & One Nights Mystery Blanket, one of Debbie’s more recent Mystery Blanket designs that combines a vibrant, rich colourway with sparkling beads and textured stitches, and the 2022 Deco Dreams Mystery Blanket, rich in intarsia colour work and embellishment. Its subtle and sophisticated colour palette with geometric and tessellating patterns was designed to celebrate the one-hundred year anniversary of the Art Deco movement.
