220 Superwash Merino takes everything that makes Cascade 220 Superwash a reliable worsted and adds the extra softness of merino wool. The result is a machine washable worsted that's gentle enough for baby and children's items, or for anyone who finds standard wool too rough next to skin. Good stitch definition, consistent across a wide colour range, and easy to care for. A practical upgrade from the standard 220 Superwash when softness matters.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
220 superwash merino is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
