Summarized by AI
Good fingering yarn. Easy to work with. Hank’s were incredibly easy to make into a ball. No tangling. I am currently working with 9 different colors of the cascade for a fair isle slipover.
I haven’t gotten going on the Valley Yarns Huntington Sunset shawl yet but it has a nice feel and should knit up lace-lovely. I’ve been very happy with sweater projects I’ve made with MillaMia Aran and Cascade 220! The MillaMia has a beautifully soft texture and holds sweater drape and shape nicely. Cascade’s 220 line yarns are among my favourite go-tos for things practical and wearable.
Lovely yarn, I mainly use this yarn for stranded mittens as it knits well and is quite soft. It seems to wear well too. My most recent order was for my daughters Pennywise mittens and they are knitting up lovely in this yarn.
A good workhorse fingering weight yarn, loosely spun with two strands (what I would call a two ply since it has two plies, but apparently that now means something completely different). The yarn has loft, lots of space between the fibers, so it is warmer for less weight, but not especially sturdy; socks made with this would wear out before too long. It's made from a non-merino wool which means the fibers are a bit stiffer and thicker than merino, so it will have a bit of scratch to it, but it...
Practical, wearable, choice of weights, option of super washable versions and gorgeous colours - all is to ❤️
Incredibly soft and lovely to work with. I've had no knots or variation in thickness and the colours are great. Such incredible quality for the price.
Making a shawl for my friend's 50th birthday with this, it's knitting up beautifully. (Whoops! I seem to have got too much, so this lovely yarn will probably make another item. :) )
A good ‘sticky’ yarn for stranded colourwork. The ply is even, but it can split slightly if you don’t keep a close eye, even with really sharp needles. It is soft on the hand, and I’m hopeful it’ll wash well. However, discovering that, although branded as American yarn, it actually originated in China where mulesing is prevalent means I won’t be buying it again.
Although this yarn is soft, it doesn't cling or stick together too much. Very important when knitting fair isle designs when you are constantly twisting the yarn together.
Always lovely colors with a wide color selection. A lighter weight fingering yarn. (Let's see if feefo review company has figured out that the word "fingering" in this context means a specific yarn weight, less than sport but more than lace. Usually they asterisk it out as if it were a bad word.) Anyway, like all Cascade yarns it does have a tendency to split a bit, and it is not merino so it's scratchy, but it is relatively cheap for the amount of yardage and is great to play with for...
