United StatesKnitting with wool or elastic fibers has been my primary choice. I branched out this year, determined to give cotton another try. After sampling other tightly wound cottons, and cotton mixes, I took the leap and tried Cascade UltraPima in white peach. To make it extra challenging, I used 14" aluminum needles. After some experimentation, I have arrived at my knitting strategies and am very happy to say, this exceeds all expectations. The stitch definition is excellent, the light on the yarn is luxurious, and the handling is smooth and trouble-free. Lots of color choices offer inspiration. This yarn is sold in skeins of 220 yards; I wound mine on a cardboard tube, perfectly adequate for my purpose. I'm eager to see the yarn after careful washing and drying.

Store your masterpiece carefully; it may one day be a timeless family heirloom.
Bob Dunbadin founded the Cascade Yarns in the late 1980s. From their humble Pioneer Square beginnings in Seattle, Washington, they have moved and expanded, but have never lost their commitment to affordable, high-quality yarns.
In a time when most high-quality yarn was being crafted in Europe, Cascade instead looked to Peru. Cascade has always believed that so long as the materials and spinning equipment were high quality, and the workers well trained and happy, good yarn can come from anywhere.
A family-owned business since the beginning, Cascade is now run by Bob Dunbadin's son Rob and daughter-in-law Shannon. They continue Cascade's mission to offer exceptional quality yarn for an exceptional price.
