New Arrival - Cascade 220 Peruvian Highland Wool

I love getting boxes in the mail, especially when they are full of lovely, colourful wool!  Why did we chose Cascade 220 worsted weight yarn?  Well like most of you, we found a wonderful pattern but then couldn't find the yarn.


There are lots of worsted weight yarns out there but not a lot of different colours and not 100% wool.  After much research (cutting into knitting time), we decided on Cascade 220.  This yarn is very versatile and has a good reputation.  You can use it for everything from fairisle to cables to plain knitting.  The colour choice is amazing.

We have brought in 10 colours so far of the Cascade 220 but we definitely will bring in more.  You can check out the colour selection by clicking here.  If you see something you like, please let us know and we can order it in for you.

Once we have finished our project, we will post a picture.  In the meantime, check out these free patterns from Cascade Yarns.
