I have been knitting with Cashcotton 4Ply for ages, and am disappointed to read it to be discontinued. Hopefully RYC will introduce a comparable alternative.
This yarn works up and wears beautifully. It is visually 'primitive' and the colourways reflect this - which only adds to its charm. I've used it for everything from socks to sweaters - it drapes wonderfully - and although it's a fingering-weight it still creates an excellent fabric with outstanding stitch definition on needles up to 4.00mm.
It launders very well, and I've even tumble-dried a pair of socks - the socks were 'hidden' in a sweatshirt and went in a load my college-aged son was doing - with no ill effects; no distortion, no shrinkage.
However, I don't think I'd make a practice of it, and suggest using a lingerie bag for the garment to avoid any unnecessary friction. Then again, I usually do that with all my handknits.

| I have mixed feeling about this yarn. Loved the feel and how it knits up to an extremely soft fabric. But would recommend handwashing instead of machine wash as indicated, 'coz the sweater that I knitted for my baby keeps shedding tons of lose fibers like a cat shedding its fur! If you have the patience to remove the loose fibers after every wash with a fabic shaver, its a pretty good yarn as my baby's sweater still looks like new after multiply machine washes! Would not recommend knitting for a very young infant though |

| I could not believe that a yarn as soft and lovely to look at as this yarn is actually exits...but it does, and it's a dream to work with, too. While the colors are not the "brights&primaries" they are really gorgeous...and the cherry on top is that this yarn is machine washable, so it's perfect for making infant garments. |
