This is my favorite yarn. The color selection is beyond compare, and it knits up beautifully. I disagree with the reviewers who describe 220 as scratchy; I have sensitive skin and have no problem wearing garments made from this yarn. I find it to be very much like merino. Love the 220!

Definitely a "workhorse" yarn

Bought one skein to try & found This yarn to be scratchy and not something I put next to my skin, probably would work for a jacket. Lots of people on Ravelery buy it for felting, and I hear it is an excellent yarn for that. Reminds me of the stuff you buy in a craft store! If I am going to invest my time and money into knitting I want it to be something I love to wear.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220:
I bought this yarn in a yarn store because I fell in love with the saturated colors. The heathers are subtle and perfect. I'm knitting a sweater for my 11 year old son and am finding that if feels softer knitted than it did in skein. The stitches are clear and this yarn knits easily (no splitting). WEBS has a great price and now I have a stash!

I love this yarn for knitting and felting purses, it doesn't have too fuzzy an appearance like some other yarns. I bought many colors this time to crochet a granny square afghan - can't wait to start it.
