Comments about Cascade Yarns Casablanca:
The yarn is really wonderful with a great halo and good colors BUT the yarn kept breaking when working with the lightest color areas. I'd say that the yarn broke at least 5 times while I was working on the Casablanca hoodie pattern. It broke three times alone while I was completing the front bands, not an easy place to fix the joins. I would recommend it only with caveats about the fragility.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Casablanca:
i made a simple lace scarf with this and the finished product was pretty and the colors lovely, but knitting with it was a pain. The yarn is far too fragile -- especially if there is a chance you might have to frog even the least little bit to correct an error. I had to make 4 felt joins in one skein when the yarn unexpectedly broke on me because it got tugged on for several different reasons. And these tugs were nothing out of the ordinary and the same kind of tugs I would give any kind of yarn and expect it to hold up! I've never worked with a yarn this flimsy before and hope I don't have too again.
