NEW YARNS from CASCADE!


Let's start with the most seductive yarn that arrived: SORATA! Just close your fingers around a hank and you too will be smitten. The composition is 70% Baby Llama and 30% silk. This fingering weight has exceptional yardage of 437 yards. The label expresses the gauge at 28 - 32  per 4 inches with needle sizes 1-3. $21




SARASOTA will be a popular one this spring at only $7.25 for 314 yards with a fiber content of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. It is a DK meaning it will give you 5.5 inches per inch on a 5. This may be machine washed on cool and tumbled dry on low. $7.25




ULTRAPIMA FINE Peruvian Tones is a light sport with 273 yards per hank and a gauge of 24-26 across four inches using needles 3-4. This is all cotton so it may be machine washed and tumble dried if you insist on the latter. $12



My favorite is ROSLYN, a DK with 382 yards. This is a 65% Wool and 35% Silk blend with a charming quiet tweed effect. It will knit at 5.5 stitchers per inch on a 6 needle. This must be hand washed and dried flat. $16.00
