Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock - Thistle #5779
The color Thistle is a soft, muted shade of light, very pale, purple with hints of gray or blue undertones. Thistle is gentle and airy, with a subtle dusty quality that makes it versatile for both modern and vintage-inspired designs. It's a soothing and understated hue, often associated with calm, elegance, and femininity.
Cascade's Heritage isn't just for socks! While it's my best-selling sock yarn, its versatility has made it a favorite for much more—shawls, baby garments, and lightweight tops are all popular projects. Whether you knit or crochet, this yarn creates a fabric with an exceptional feel. The touch of nylon adds durability, and because it's designed for socks, it’s incredibly washable too! Plus, the color selection is both stunning and constantly evolving, ensuring there's always something fresh to inspire your next creation.
