Comments about Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima:
I am knitting a baby blanket and it is working up nicely. I just hope that the blocking takes care of all the little knitting inconsistencies. If so it will be lovely. Yarn is very pleasant and easy to work with. It will be interesting to see if it pills when it's washed several times.

Making a cabled sweater using a DK pattern. Used a 4mm needle and got about 24 stiches x 30 rows for the 10cm x 10 cm swatch for st stitches. So far so good.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima:
My first experience with Ultra Pima is fantastic!
So easy to work with, even using SS needles, have not had a slippery issues. Just looks and feels beautiful. Making a sweater for 10 year old niece. Not sure about wash and dry yet but I've read good reviews on that. Like it so much, I've bought several other colors.
