This yarn knits up nicely. I felt items with this yarn and I can predict it will come out the way I want.

Product Description
Cascade 220 is 100% Peruvian highland wool, 219yds (200m) per skein, knitting to 18–20 stitches over 10cm on 4.50mm–5.00mm (US 7–US 8) needles; recommended crochet hooks 4.50mm (G) to 5.00mm (H).
It is a firm, round, hard-wearing wool with the stitch definition that cables and textured patterns need, and it blooms and evens out after blocking. That durability, alongside one of the widest shade ranges available in a plain wool, is why it is a standing choice for colorwork, blankets and garments meant to last.
It also felts reliably, which makes it a favorite for bags and slippers. It is not superwash, so hand wash and dry flat.
Care: hand wash, dry flat.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful wool, loved by my friend
I like the beautiful wool. It is lovely and soft. I use it for a jumper. It was a gift for a friend. They love it.
Disappointed with color mismatch
The colour I received looks nothing like the one I picked from the website. No, that’s how it was advertised on the website. I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t use it.
Hi Alina! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the colour wasn't what you expected. Colours can sometimes appear different due to screen settings, variations between dye lots, and the lighting conditions under which product photos are taken. We'll reach out to you by email to see how we can help. We appreciate your patience and look forward to hearing from you.
Great for colorwork projects
I like the lovely color range. I use it for colorwork projects. I'm using it for the nocturnal sweater by Saskie in three colors. It will felt a bit with time, which is good for colorwork. It is not my first and certainly not my last time using this yarn.
This wool is perfect for felting slippers.
This wool is perfect for making felted slippers. I use two colours per pair. The wool knits up very well with no unsightly faults. The choice of colours is vast. The wool felts perfectly.
This wool is perfect for felting slippers.
I’ve used this wool on multiple occasions as it is perfect for making felted slippers! It knits up really well, has no faults and the choice of colours is vast. And, of course, it felts perfectly!
Excellent as usual
Used to make a tearoom lamb - perfect result
Excellent in every way
I am a huge fan of Cascade 220, both heathered and not heathered shades. I must have knitted at least a dozen jumpers and cardigans in them. They are my usual choice of yarn for hats and leg/wrist warmers I gift as Christmas or winter birthday presents. The yarn works well on 4.5 to 5.5 mm needles, depending on what tension and look you prefer. Each skein is a great value for money with some 200m of soft, pure wool - it certainly goes a long way. One skein is plenty for a pair of leg warmers or...
Cascade wool is an excellent buy.
Absolutely lovely wool to knit with. I use it for soft toys. Would recommend this to others
Yarn is easy to knit. I love the color choices and it is a nice 100% wool, worseted weight yarn. Does not felt if you have no alternative but to use a washing machine when you go to wash and block using cold water. This yarn is very forgiving when you work with it and need to frog to correct mistakes.
