My problem was not yarn, but interface--making a fine selection of color online was a waste of time. Neither color I bought looked like the photo--I know there is a difference in monitors so I checked out color on two machines. Still, a big discrepancy--"Midnight Heather" looks like a medium blue on screen but is actually very dark like... midnight. (I took a chance I'd get what I was looking at, but should have believed the name.) "Turquoise Pebble" is much greener than turquoise. Settled for rather than hassle a return, but a little annoyed. Not sure I'd buy from the site again. If I had a picture, I'd upload it.

I've used Cascade 220 for two hats and a lovely pair of Irish Hiking Mitts (free pattern on Ravelry). All of the products have come out wonderfully stretchy, soft, and warm. Highly recommend.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220:
I bought this for projects for charity for church, from the Topsy Turvy book, and also for the World Sweater from the 1990's, so I need lots of colors, good price, good knitting quality. Reading the reviews, I agree. It does need to be balled, as it comes in hanks. Knits nicely, nothing fancy, but a go-to worsted weight yarn. I'm told by others it felts well. Not the superwash, of course. I doubt it sheds, no idea about pilling.

This yarn easily sizes up and down depending on project needs. Mine was an experiment and this yarn both frogs and reworks wonderfully (numerous times in fact).

You get a lot of yardage at a great price. This yarn comes in tons of colors. It's like a painter's palette.
