out of one 128 yd skein I have 8 little balls of yarn. This never should have passed quality control. I hop the other 2 skeins are relatively intact, I don't mind one or two breaks but this is bad! |

I've used 6 skeins of Cascade 128 to make 6 hats, all extremely warm, wind & rain resistant. Great to use for North American Winters. My friend reported her hand knit hat was warmer than her store bought Columbia hat! This yarn comes in some really beautiful, bright hues too. |

I’m currently knitting a slip stitch colorwork beanie with this yarn. Omg the softness just blows me away! I picked up a tip from Pink Knits, she said to double wind your yarn, to allow it to relax into its natural state. I’ve just tried it with this yarn and it’s so worth the extra minute! It’s so fluffy! Keep in mind, it won’t work on a regular plastic winder, those are made for a single wind, 100 grams. But jimmy beans sells a beautiful wood winder that should work. Otherwise, just wind it by hand loosely and you’ll have the same result.
My girlfriend saw what I was working with, and she said, “oh, that’s cheap yarn!” but you know what? I’m making a fluffy soft PERFECT beanie for less than half of what the other yarns could cost me. It’s all what you put into your work. I don’t think it’s “cheap,” it’s just inexpensive, and it’s 100% merino and as good as they come, actually better! Happy knitting! |

I am knitting a Sassenach shawl using the Cascade 128, and the stitch definition is superb. It also has just enough rustic to it to be appropriate for the finished product. It is soft but strong. |

So far, I have only completed the back of one sweater with this yarn, but it's nice to work with. Very soft and cozy. No knots in any of the 7 skeins I wound up. Color is beautiful. If it washes well and doesn't pill, it'll be a home run. |
