Warm and durable sock yarn

This is the broken seed pattern I found on Ravelry. I usually use Heritage or Cascade Fingering weight yarn. They are both reasonably priced. I combine them with a variegated yarn which makes for an interesting design pattern. The trick is to knit with a zero or number one size needles so the design is more pronounced. Additionally, when a lace weight with mohair and silk is on sale, I will knit up a vanilla sock pattern on number three needles using the Heritage or Cascade fingering weight...

Great yarn for intricate projects

I'm knitting a baby blanket that has an intricate border. This yarn has very good definition and is easy to work with. I have not had a problem with splitting. I have had difficulty with the pattern and have had to restart and pull out rows, and the yarn has not only survived, but has not shown any wear and tear. The blanket will need blocking for the border to look its best. I think I will have yarn left over. I would definitely buy it again.

Perfect for colorwork knitting

This is a quality wool with nylon blend yarn that glides across my needles. It has gorgeous saturated colors, and so far I've caked 6 skeins with not a knot among them. I'm using it for a pullover sweater test knit, and the smoothness of the Cascade Heritage Yarn allows me to focus on the pattern instead of fighting with any tangles.

Soft but difficult to work with

The yarn was very soft and fluffy, and the colors were accurate. However, it fuzzes and pills up very quickly when knitting with it, which made it difficult to read my stitches and made my working yarn stick together a lot. I was knitting a double-knit scarf, but I only got 4 rows in before I had to stop and choose a different yarn.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the softness of the yarn and found the colors accurate, although we’re sorry to hear that the fuzzing and pilling made the yarn difficult to work with. For a yarn that is prone to fuzzing, using smooth, sharp-tipped needles and keeping a slightly more relaxed tension may help reduce friction while knitting. It can also help to avoid repeatedly pulling back and reworking the same stitches, as this can increase fuzzing. We’re sorry this yarn didn’t work well for your double-knitting project. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Great for defined stitches

I’ve enjoyed knitting with this yarn. It has become my favorite. The yarn is nice to knit with as it doesn’t split. The stitches have good definition, especially cables and patterns. The finished product looks professional and of high quality. I now have a stack of yarn for projects with the patterns in mind.

Highly recommend this yarn

The color choices in this yarn are very good. Having used this before, the quality of the product versus price are a winner. I have used this yarn to make tolsta tees. I have made a dozen of this pattern and five of them used Cascade Heritage. They have been used for up to 3 years. It wears well and holds up to a lot of wear and washes. I recommend this yarn and yarn.com.

My go to yarn

I've been using Cascade Heritage for almost everything I knit for several years now. The yarn is durable, doesn't pill too badly, and is soft to wear and easy on my hands while I knit. It's an excellent value yarn, and when there are the occasional sale, I stock up.
