This yarn is so easy to work with and I love the way it feels. The baby blanket is coming along nicely. Looking forward to gifting it in June.
Sweater for my nephew- baby is due next month. The larger one is for my 7 year old granddaughter. This is my 4th Flax worsted sweater I have knit. Been adding patterns to the front of the sweater to add interest. It is a great pattern and easy to add your own touches. I picked up the yarn at a store I don’t usually go to, I had a gift certificate. This yarn was new to me. It worked up well, very soft. It washed well and seems to be wearing well with active children.
Very disappointed in how this washed. After countless hours knitting my blanket and then placing it in a mesh laundry bag, delicate, so much fuzz came off it was scary. Then I de-fuzzed it but still not great. I had hands full of fuzz. The Deep Ultra Marine #48 seems to be the main culprit.
This is my favorite yarn. The colors are vibrant. The yarn rarely splits. I have not experienced any joins in the yarn yet. I have made everything from scarves and hats to sweaters and even cozies for a tortoise (she wears crochet rounds on her shell and it eases her anxieties.) All have been machine washed - in the case of the tortoise cozies, many times - the yarn gets slightly softer with washing, but the color remains vibrant and the size remains true. Im very impressed.
Love this yarn and have used for many projects over the years. Sadly, I will not be shopping any longer at Webs for my yarn needs. Many yarns have been discontinued and the quantity and color selection has been very disappointing on the yarn they do still carry.

I love this yarn. I've purchased it multiple times and use it for all sorts of projects - adult sweaters, baby blankets, hats, etc. It's super soft, knits like a dream, AND washable! It doesn't stretch as much as other superwash yarns do, and it has a cozy finish, not the slippery sheen that some superwash yarns have. My husband wore his sweater night and day for the entire winter and we've washed it once. Buy this yarn! You won't regret it!
Favorite yarn of all time! I’ve been wearing Cascade 220 superwash merino sweaters all winter and they are holding up so well! The yarn definitely softens up after the first wash and isn’t itchy against the skin!
Perfect for my needlepoint project.
