Cascade Yarns Cotton Rich DK
A super soft cotton yarn from Cascade! Cotton Rich DK is a stunningly soft blend of cotton and nylon. The two fibers take the color a bit differently, so the yarn has a very subtly marled effect. Cascade Cotton Rich DK is the perfect choice for your spring and summer garments where you are looking for a bit of color and superb softness.

Soft cotton!
Used for a little girl's hat and dress. Color is excellent; machine washed and dried like a dream.

This yarn has a nice drape and a rich, deep color. However, I was very unhappy with the amount of knots I found in 3 or 4 of the 8 hanks I purchased. And there weren't just one or two knots, there were many breakages in the skeins. Some were big knots like one when the yarn is completely severed, but some were also the kind of knot tied when only a few strands of the fiber were broken. In either case, it meant cutting the yarn and overlapping a restart. I guess if I weigh these issues with the yarn's machine washability and really nice price, it may all even out.
This yarn is meant for my almost always warm daughter who lives in Hawaii. The dk weight should be just right for inside a restaurant or a windy Hawaii winter evening.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Cotton Rich DK:
I'm making a cardigan, so I need to get the size right. I made a swatch to get the gauge right, started knitting, and found that my sweater would be way way too big. So I have just rewound the yarn and will start again using needles 2 sizes smaller. If this yarn wasn't such a beautiful color and feel so nice, I might not bother.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Cotton Rich DK:
I love the color and texture of the yarn, but the 4 skeins I bought each had several breaks that had been knotted together. Eek! Not desirable in the middle of a cabled sweater yoke.
