Cascade Yarns - 220 Superwash Merino -  Bordeaux Heather 79

Cascade Yarns' 220 Superwash® Merino is a new addition to the 220 Superwash® collection. It is similar in gauge and yardage to the classic 220 Superwash® but with the softness of merino wool. Use this totally easy-care yarn for adult and child garments and accessories that need that extra touch of softness.

This yarn is merino grade quality, which means it is much softer than regular wool. It is also a superwash. Some wools may be itchy, but merino grade wools are less so. This light weight worsted wool knits and crochets beautifully. Perfect for any knit or crocheted sweater, blanket, scarf or hat. And the price is great, too!
