220 Superwash Merino is similar in gauge and yardage to the classic Cascade 220 yarn but has the added bonus of being spun from merino wool (the softest!) and washable. It’s an easy care yarn that we often recommend to people who are knitting baby garments or baby blankets - Mom can just toss it in the washing machine without having to worry about shrinking your gift.
Super soft, 220 Superwash Merino is also the yarn we use in our Beginner Knitting classes, because it's easy to handle, care for, and comes in a wonderful palette of colours.
