Cascade 220 Superwash Paints Wool Yarn

I made made a scarf out of the Grape color. It is so soft and beautiful that I am constantly getting compliments on it. I would certainly use this yarn again in the future in a sweater or other close to skin garment.

I generally try not to read others reviews before writing my own, but this time I happened to see jeninmaine's review of this yarn. I was going to write what she said: pretty color ways, good value, beware of color pooling. I made a pair of fingerless mittens with this and although the colorway is beautiful I have several pools of color in odd places on the mitts. I always find myself using this yarn as a go to for small gifts.

Cascase 220 is a go-to for color variety, dependability, and value. Their superwash is even better for anything made for kids, or as gifts, and the Paints line adds a nice variety of color to the mix. I especially like matching variegated up with solid colors for stripes or accents on mittens and hats.

This yarn is as good as you'd expect, works up quickly and is durable as all get-out. Some of the colors have slightly short color repeats, so I think it's better suited for smaller items like mittens and hats, I wouldn't use it as the main color for a sweater, personally, but that's just my preference. The colors themselves are gorgeous and rich. Also a great yarn for toys!

Handpainted yarn can be expensive, and solids may not provide the interest you're looking for in a project. Cascade 220 Superwash Paints offers an easy-care, affordable option that is the best of both worlds. It knits and washes like regular 220 superwash, but offers a very regular variegation that is, in my experience with Sunshine (9857) and Tropical Seas (9862), coordinated and appealing. This is well worth the money, especially if you can snag it on sale.

Glorious color.

Both colors I ordered are simply beautiful and the yarn itself is a dream to knit with.

Really pretty yarn. Nice changes in color without being overly varigated. Will make a beatiful cardigan.

wonderful yarn for hats & mittens- great to buy it at the reduced price
