The yarn colors are nice and the DK weight crochets up nicely. The yarn does not split like a lot of acrylic yarns and does not drag on the hooks. I use both plastic and aluminum hooks size 4.00 mm. The fabric is adequate for a throw but I wouldn't choose it to make baby articles unless it is used for toys. The reason I feel this way is I like a softer loftier fabric for baby items. But for children and adults that would give it more use, I think it is perfectly fine and very economical.
Very nice dk to knit with. It's soft yet strong. It has a good stitch definition. This is my go-to for DK-weight yarn.
The yarn was unexpectedly soft and very easy to work with. I used it to crochet flowers and it worked really well! The colors were vibrant and more beautiful than what they looked like online.
It is a very nice DK weight yarn. Makes up beautifully. Nice color saturation. I use it with my worsted patterns since I like the lighter weight sweaters. I just go up one or two sizes of the patterns. I use garment bags for my knits for washing.
I was looking for an affordable option to knit a cardigan that I was unsure of pattern. This was on sale, even though not a fan of acrylic, it’s cascade and I love cascade yarn. Much to my surprise it’s beautiful yarn! Would definitely buy again. My cardigan is turning out beautiful.
Great yarn ... washable wool... such good quality. I make many items with this. I buy from several locations. I love making baby afghans and afghans for TV watching! And that can add up the larger they get. But this yarn is worth it. They will last years and years.
I found the cream yarn noticeably thicker than a color of the same yarn, and it was also rougher in texture. It did knit up well though and I have hope it will soften after washing. Fortunately I was using it in colorwork so it should blend in.
I love these yarns. They are so easy to work with and cake up easily on my ball winder. I got a mix of colors and they go together nicely for the blanket I'm making.
I got six different colors so I can use them all in different combinations of colors in squares for a blanket. The yarn is consistent in all colors, which is really nice.
