Cascade Yarns ReFine is a fingering weight blend of superwash Merino wool, nylon, and viscose that is made from 100% recycled fibers. This yarn comes in a wide range of colors perfect for mixing and matching in everything from socks to shawls and sweaters. With over 500 yards per skein, ReFine is a great value too! Feel good about giving recycled fibers a second chance in your next project!
Note: You will need approximately 400 yards for a basic pair of socks for an average women's size.

This yarn is extremely weak. The fibers are very short. Including nyon in no way made the yarn strong. I had no idea I was buying yarn from recycled materials. I cannot imagine how anyone thought it was ok to sell such a poor product. A person's time is too valuable to waste knitting with this yarn.
This yarn broke as I was casting on my project! It's also very very sticky and slow to knit with. If I didn't need it for a present in a couple of weeks I'd return it and get a different yarn. Oh well.
I like to knit stretchy sock yarn... this isn't. I've not used this particular mix of fibers (cotton and nylon) but have just knitted wool based yarn, some wool/nylon based with added bamboo or cotton. All of those were MUCH stretchier than this, even the finest weight yarns. Also worried a bit about whether it will shrink much... not clear from the packaging.

I've used some of the Cascade ReFine that I purchased as a sock yarn. Overall, I'm happy with the product but it feels a bit more fine than the sock yarn that I am used to using. I don't know if it is or not, but it feels thinner. I found if I put too much tension on it, it may break. Also, it feels a bit harsh to the touch. It's not bad but I wouldn't use it for something close to delicate skin like a child's face or neck. It may feel scratchy. Feet? Go for it. In the photo, I used 2 strands...
ReFine is ok for my current project, but I would not recommend it for most knitting. It is very rough and quite weak. I am making a small bear that will primarily be sitting on a shelf so softness and durability aren’t very important. It is fine (thin sock weight) and came in the color I needed. I bought more than I need but I plan to keep it since I often make small scale toys. It definitely won’t be good for socks or other garments.
Some of the reviews had said the yarn was scratchy. Maybe Cascade upgraded, but mine was quite soft, non-splitting, gorgeous color. and as I needed quite a lot for this project, I was happy to have 503 yd. balls, up from the usual 400 yds on most sock yarn.

Made a cardigan with refine a few months ago and loved it so ordered more. Need more colors though.
