Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
I purchased the marled green combination and found this yarn to be itchy. Could it have something to do with the dyes? I've heard this can affect the yarn feel. That being said it can still be used over clothes but not directly next to skin.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
The child's sweater I made with this yarn turned out soft, lightweight, and holds its shape well. The stockinette portion has a little texture and the few cables are well defined. I would definitely consider this yarn again for the next sweater.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
This is my first felting project--a knitting bag. The yarn has been wonderful to work with--smooth and even. The bag is looking great... I ALMOST hate felting it, but I will go on with my original plan.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
This was my first experience with a marled yarn. The four colors make an interesting visual in stockinette. I prefer the look of the yarn felted, but my daughter likes the way it looks unfelted better. Try it both ways for different effects!

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
The price was amazing. I knitted a spring kimono sweater for under $30.00! It has good weight and holds its shape. I love the four colored strands and the way they knit up as you move through your project.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
This is the first sweater that I have knitted for my husband. So far I've been very selfish and have only made items for myself. He picked out the color, after I selected 3 possible yarns products that would be appropriate for his sweater. Also, he selected the pattern out of two that I pre-selected for him. The project isn't finished yet, but almost . . .
Service and delivery comments:
Shipping takes about one week, with some prompting to the customer service department, which means that delivery takes about 1-1/2 weeks - too long.
The product arrived in excellent condition.
Customer service response was prompt, even though shipping was not.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
The yarn is a little rough--much coarser than the regular Cascade 220, so I wouldn't use it for hats or scarves. It does seem to soften up some as it is worked, however. The color is great and I like the variegated effect of the Quattro. And the price was definitely right!

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
I knitted up an rainbow sweater for my toddler. LOVE the colors available. It's not super soft but isn't scratchy either. Pretty much what you see is what you get, I didn't notice any significant blooming after washing and blocking. The different colors in each yarn give a very nice depth to the finished product. I'l definitely buy more.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 220 Quatro:
I picked this yarn because of the good sale price. My granddaughter picked a great color combo of violet/deep pink. It is knitting up into an attractive sweater that I think can take some less than gentle use by a 10 year old. It has nice body for this weight yarn.
