Cascade Yarns Cantata has an interesting construction of a cotton tube with superwash Merino wool fibers blown inside. The tube construction makes the yarn airy and lofty, and the fiber content works great for transitional sweaters. Textured stitches and cables will pop with Cantata.

I love the softness of the yarn. Easy to work with.
The yarn is great-looking and pleasant to work with (no splitting). It has a lovely sheen (not a shine, just nice depth from the two tones). There are several pieces knotted together in some of the skeins, which isn't ideal. The stitch definition is excellent (see photo of unfinished project).
very pretty color and soft texture
Great yarn to knit with. I like the faded denim vibe.
I miss the fluffiness of the yarn, I think it will fluff up a bit after washing. Needles 4mm
