Cascade Yarns 220 Fingering Yarn - Wool Fingering

I’m a huge fan of the Cascade 220 yarns; it’s my work-horse. My only complaint is that they tend to be on the thinner side of their category. I’m holding two fingering weight strands together (different colours) and it’s barely getting the expected gauge. I’m a neat knitter, but not what I’d call a tight knitter. Webs/Yarn.com always provides great service.

It has a soft feeling and is very nice to work with. It feels nice in your hands when knitting and has good stitch definition. I use it for a rectangular shawl for myself.

The yarn did not split and was easy to work with. It was also very uniform, no thick or thin areas.

Cascade yarn is quality yarn at a great price. I use it for a colorwork sweater called Filligre. I like the design. The yarn is perfect for color work.

It is soft. I'm using it for a very difficult half sweater that is constructed in squares. I'm doubling the yarn. It works very well.

This is the first time I've used Cascade 220 fingering. I used it with my standard gauge knitting machine. The cardigan turned out beautifully. The color and the stitches were uniform and I found no knots or imperfections in the yarn. I would highly recommend this yarn.

This yarn looks lustrous and feels smooth and soft, but I had to watch out for split stitches. Also, it seems to have no elasticity or loft at all. In that sense, it feels more like (unbrushed) mohair than wool.

I used this yarn for socks, but was so dissatisfied with the results I only got through half the sock. It split so badly it was almost impossible to use. It also was very thin and had no body. I would not recommend.

I consider myself a experienced knitter, however after few trials and errors, using different needles and needles sizes, the stitch formation this yarn creates stays uneven compared to other 100% wool fingering yarn

I love the squishy feel when it's knit up. Great price point.
