Soft wool yarn with good stitch definition. Knitting a Norwegian designed winter hat for my son.
The yarn was very soft and was easy to work with. There were few if any breaks in the yarn, and it was spun well and almost never caught on my hook. The yarn has held up well when working with it. There has not been any stretching or bunching. I'm using it for a sweater as a Christmas gift to my mother.
I really do not enjoy working with this yarn. It splits so easily and has caused so many problems with my project. It causes messy stitches that need to be frogged constantly. Unfortunately, I purchased it to make three sweaters for my granddaughters, so I’m stuck with it. So disappointing! Such a waste of time. I'm using size 3 and size 5 needles.
The colors are beautiful, and the yarn is lightweight. I should make a beautiful hat or cowl. Sale pricing is always an incentive. I knit for charity as well, so I like to have top quality yarn. First time usIng this yarn so i hope to knit something fun soon.
Love this yarn for childrens sweaters. Takes rough and tumble activities and washes so well. Has comfortable ease to the hand and great stitch definition. Can feel a bit scratchy before first wash but not enough fir skin sensitivity issues. Have made 8 sweaters for my grandkids. All still in use. Will buy again.
I like the selection and price. It has fast shipping. I'm using it for just scarves.
I have used this yarn in multiple colors on a variety of blanket projects. Love, love, love the way it knits up, and the stitches look well defined after blocking. It holds up well to repeated washings too. If you haven't tried it before, you really should!
I have pain in my wrist and cannot knit with all types of yarn. Cascade 220 Superwash Sport is springy, soft to the touch, and comfortable to use, and the colors are beautiful. I love that I can knit with it without additional discomfort.
Easy knitting, keeps very even tension. Excellent color variety. Some minor issues with splitting.
The yarn came in a timely manner. It's durable and can be used in combination with other yarns of the same weight if needed. The quality seems good too. It's soft yet holds it's shape.
