I've make more slouch hats out of this than I can count. Great stitch definition, great drape, & extremely soft. Plus so many beautiful colors to choose from! The only reason I give it 4 stars out of 5 is that it is incorrectly labeled a 'worsted' weight. It is not even a 'light worsted', it is a full on DK weight so buy accordingly.

I bought 2 skeins of this lovely looking yarn (not from WEBS)& crocheted a pair of socks for my daughter's BF for Xmas. They came out great, but when I washed & dried them, as the label suggested, they came out horrible. I had even put them in a small laundry bag that zips shut & yet they were fuzzy & baggy after the 1st wash & dry. I don't know if it was because it was the heathered yarn or if all of the colors do this. But I probably won't give this yarn a 2nd try....

I used this yarn to make a baby blanket and I am very happy with the results. I ran my swatch through the washing machine and it came out perfect. The colors are so lovely.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash:
I've used 220 Superwash for several projects. It's softer than the original Cascade 220, plus machine washable. It's an excellent yarn, doesn't pill, wears well, and has great elasticity and memory.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash:
220 Superwash is great for making baby and children's clothes. I am using some of the yarn I purchased to make the Fisherman's Pullover from the Cascade Yarn's 60 Quick Baby Knits book and the sweater looks fabulous!! Love the definition of the cables and seed stitch. Plus a great color.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash:
I use this to make handwarmers for resale. I get 2 pairs out of each 220yd ball, using a Size 3. I appreciate the huge color selection available. This yarn definitely knits up closer to a DK weight than a worsted. That isn't a criticism; just be prepared to go down a needle size or two. All in all, I like the yarn a lot.
Service and delivery comments:

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash:
After reading reviews on Ravelry, I was prepared for this to be crunchy and bleed. While it has a little more body to it straight out of the ball, it softens up nicely without fuzzing with full wet blocking, and knitting a black and white fairisle swatch, I figure I tested out the bleeding pretty thoroughly. No bleeding at all!

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash:
I'm using all the colors recommended for the zig and zag baby blanket from the "60 quick baby blankets" book. I lucked out and managed to puchase a number of them on sale. I've not used this particular yarn before, but have had much success with other skeins from Cascade. Fingers crossed! The heathered shades are very pretty, and my hope is that the very small amount of scratch disappears with washing.

I used to use acrylic to make baby blankets - but no more. Since I discovered 220 Superwash I have used it exclusively. It knits up quickly and washes like a dream.

Made an afghan with lots of cables - yarn is great for this! No knots in the skeins or other gremlins to worry about. Very nice yarn.
