The Yarn Store is proud to say that we stock ALL the colors in this wool line. We feel it fills a void in the [ 5 ] size Bulky category with that perfect gauge of 3.5 stitches per inch. In my knit tests, the yarn worked up easily on US#10 needle. My stitch gauge was 3.75 sts = 1. If I went to a US 10.5 needle, I'm sure it would be a nice 3.5sts equals 1. The resulting piece was full of body, so will hold its' garment shape nicely. Because it is all wool (washable!) its' personality was warm, wooly and cozy. This would be great for winter layering as a vest (perhaps a long vest) and an awesome zip up jacket. But I can also see it in some really cute bulky scarf and hat set. These balls are supersized at 200 grams per ball, which is a whopping 220 yards. YARN DETAILS Composition: 100% Superwash Wool Weight: 200 g / 7.05 oz Approx: 220 yds / 200 m Size: [5] Bulky Knitting Machine: Might work on the bulky SK155. We've not test it yet.

The classic Cascade 220 is the perfect combination of affordability, quality, and versatility that can be used for a wide range of projects. Each hank of this worsted weight 100% pure wool comes in a generous 220 yards.Peruvian Highland Wool is a hybrid of native Corriedale with Merino resulting in loft, durability, and fabulous stitch definition. Cascade 220 works up beautifully in cables, lace, colorwork, as well as simple stitch patterns.
