Product Description

Cascade Yarns 220 is a 100% Peruvian Highland wool worsted, and one of the most-used yarns we sell. One 100 g skein holds 220 yds (200 m) and knits to 18 stitches over 4" on US 7 (4.5 mm) needles — recommended crochet hook G (4.5 mm). It comes in one of the largest color ranges in the store, in clear solids and in the heathers the line is known for, where several shades are blended into the strand.

Not superwash: Cascade 220 is untreated wool, so hand wash and dry flat — and so it felts. It is the yarn our customers reach for specifically to felt: hats, hot water bottle covers, hot pads and bags all felt down densely and evenly. If you want the same look in something you can put in the machine, Cascade 220 Superwash is the washable DK-weight version, and there are more weights and finishes in the Cascade 220 Line.

Rated 4.8 stars by 220+ knitters at yarn.com, where the word that comes up most is “workhorse”. Reviewers use it for sweaters, hats, mittens, granny-square afghans and stuffed toys, and repeatedly praise the stitch definition — cables, twisted stitches and stranded colorwork all hold their shape. It is a hard-wearing wool at a modest price rather than a luxury soft one: several reviewers with sensitive skin note it can feel scratchy next to the neck, so it is worth a swatch if you are knitting close-fitting garments.

100% Peruvian Highland wool. Hand wash, dry flat.

Enjoy working with Cascade 220

I have a large collection of Cascade yarns that I use mainly to make fair isle mittens and hats. It is a lovely yarn to work with and shows the patterns well. The 100% wool keeps hands and heads warm in the winter and retains moisture when wet. It’s my go-to yarn.

Perfect yarn for Cobblestone Mitts

It was the correct yarn for a project that called for excessively expensive yarn. I am using it for the Cobblestone Mitts by Jodi Horgan of Flower Hill Farm and Mill. It is working beautifully. It works beautifully for the stitch definition.

I like the Peruvian yarn softness and color selection. I'm using it for hats that are then felted.

Beautifully knit sweater

I'm using it for a sweater, and the pattern called for Cascade 220. It knit up beautifully, and the sweater turned out really nice. It fits me very well, and I love the feel. Since it’s summer, I have not had a chance to wear it yet. I'm sure it will be great.

Great colors for rug repair

I like the colors and fiber content. I'm using it to repair a wool rug that has these colors. It is as good as I expected. Still in process.

Perfect yarn for family stockings

I'm using it for Christmas stockings. I've been making stockings specifically with 220 for over 15 years. It's great to knit with and the colors are perfect. My customers love them, so the definition is great. Customers usually request a family pattern with names and dates. Many families have 1 stocking made several generations ago that they want replicated.

I used it to crochet some felted slippers, and they came out PERFECT. The wool was amazing to work with. I love how soft the felted slippers worked out to be.

Perfect for cloche hats

I'm using it exclusively for my crocheted and felted cloche hats for my ETSY shop. The Cascade 220 felts the best and most consistently. My pattern uses a little over one skein, about 20 more yards I think.
