Cascade 128 Superwash Yarn
128 Superwash takes everything knitters love about merino (softness, bounce, and warmth) and makes it easy to live with. The superwash treatment means finished pieces can go in the washing machine and dryer, so it’s a smart pick for gifts, children’s clothing, and anything that will see everyday wear.
The smooth, plump strand gives crisp stitch definition, so cables, ribbing, and textured stitches really stand out. At bulky gauge, projects work up fast: a hat can be finished in an evening and a cozy sweater in a few weekends.
With a wide range of solid and heathered shades, from classic neutrals like Ecru, Black, and Silver to rich brights, it’s easy to find the right color for any project or to combine shades for stripes and colorwork.
