The colors are beautiful with a silky sheen. The yarn feels soft and silky. I would say this is a DK weight and not worsted. I had to change projects. I have not used it since it didn't work for the project I bought it for.
I am making a sweater for my husband with this yarn. I have used Cascade 220 previously but not Elysian. It is a soft texture yarn and easy to work with. Elysian is thinner and has a softer feel. That is the difference, the drape will be nice for a dressier looking sweater. I would highly recommend it.
I like the price. I'm using it because I love Cascade yarns. I have not had a chance to knit with it yet, finishing up other projects, but just by the feel of it, I know I am going to love knitting with it. It is soft, yet a stable feeling yarn, not weak or limp. I like stability in yarn. Once I knit with this, I am sure I will want more. I have been knitting for 50 years, and I know by feel if I am going to like it or not, and this I like so far!
I enjoy Cascade Yarns. It is soft and very nice to work with. If the yarn does not feel good to my hands, I will not knit with it. I am making tons of hats for charity. In total, I have made 100 hats using various DK, aran, and worsted wt yarns. It compares nicely. I get what I can on sale. I just this minute boxed up the final shipment. Alas, no picture.
Poor. The threads separated making it difficult to work with. I discontinued use of the thread.
This yarn is definitely not a worsted weight, more like a DK. I could not use it for my project, a scarf that called for worsted, and had to search for and order a different yarn altogether. It's in my stash since returning it would, in the end, cost would have been more than I paid. I am disappointed.
I have used Cascade Yarns for many years. I like the consistency of the yarn and the wide choice of colors and weights. It was on sale, and I haven’t used this particular one before. It is consistent with other Cascade yarns. I love this yarn. I am not close to the yarn at this time.
I wanted a Superwash worsted yarn. I'm using it for making a sweater as a gift and didn’t want to worry about care.
Overall, everything was great!
Cascade yarns are wonderful
