Comments about Cascade Yarns Nikki:
Once I established the right needles and pattern to use, since it is not the bulky yarn I counted on, it was absolute heaven to work. While, once in awhile, my needles would split the yarn, it was so worth working with. The sweater I made for myself (for a change) feels fabulous on and I really don't want to take it off.

This yarn has very pretty colors but it is not at all bulky. Works up more like a worsted weight.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Nikki:
I bought this yarn to use for a winter hat, thinking it was bulky. It turns out that it's WAAY to thin for it! I'd say this is more worsted weight than bulky. Very disappointed.
I like the color though, and I'll use it for something else (maybe some socks?)....

Comments about Cascade Yarns Nikki:
Love the colors and the color changes. Using Fruit Salad #25732, much nicer than picture and much prettier knitting than in the skein. This is thick and thin yarn. Have encountered one knot and had one free piece when winding. Colors change about every inch; using #9 needles and 72 stitches. These needles are sharp and I have split the yarn a couple of times. Still, very nice feel while knitting. I can hardly put it down because I want to get to the next color. I'll be ordering more, but it is so hard to decide among the colors. Also, it holds its shape very well and I would consider it for a sweater.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Recommended:
- 16" circular for hats
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
