Useful warm yarn
This yarn is great to work with, soft and smooth. I used it to make hats and mittens for grandchildren. Being washable makes it so useful for the parents of small children.

I purchased the yarn to make a baby afghan for my niece whose nursery theme is rain forest. The colors are vibrant and matched their online depictions well. It works up well and easily. Most importantly, the yarn is soft and comfortable feeling; perfect for a baby Afghan. I’m very pleased with this purchase!
I have used Cascade 220 Superwash Merino Wool for two "college-colors afghans" for my grandchildren. The yarns the perfect weight, holds its shape and does not pill. I would highly recommend this yarn for similar projects.
C’est une laine qui est douce. Elle est très agréable à tricoter et ne se dédouble pas. La palette de couleurs est très large et permet de trouver exactement celles dont on a besoin. En plus, elle facile d’entretien ce qui est définitivement un plus. Conclusion, c’est un bon choix.
This is my first time using cascade 220 super wash merino. I bought it to knit sleeves and ribbing on a granny square sweater for a granddaughter who finds regular wool a little itchy. I haven’t washed it yet but it feels wonderful to the touch.
Very soft, not spitty and has great stitch definition.
Excellent quality wool and very soft ( i.e. not itchy) Washes well
The neon green color is just what I was looking for. The yarn is soft and easy to knit up. It is on the thin side but worked well for my project.
Yarn does not split, works up well, and has good pattern definition. It’s soft too
Lovely soft wool. Easy to work with and unlike many woollen yarns, is machine washable.
