Cascade Yarns Eco + Hemp takes the Peruvian highland wool you know and love from Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool and Eco + and adds hemp, a strong and durable natural fiber. This fiber blend creates a fabric that is warm yet breathable and just gets better with use due to the way that hemp softens with wear. This DK weight yarn has a tweedy look in a rich palette of saturated colors and beautiful neutrals that will work up beautifully into sweaters and accessories.

It's softer than I expected it to be. A good value.
Very soft, a good value. !
