Soft.. yet sturdy
I bought the colorway 'Beyond the Wall' and it is a winter dream. Easy to work with, soft on the hand. I haven't worn my shawl yet, so I cannot write to the attributes of 'Outlast' fiber. But just for the fun of it, I will buy this yarn again!

Love the colors. Nice sheen.
I would rate this as a light worsted - I am working with US 7 needles on a baby blanket. The cotton blend has a lovely sheen and drape - not much stretch. It's a bit splitty, but cotton often is. Love the vibrant colors!!

Gorgeous
I ordered 'Ice Queen' with the 'Siren Song' stole in mind. I was daunted and panicked at the fine gauge of the lace weight... scrambling to return to the firm ground of worsted weight.
But I have cast on and flying like a pro. The yarn has a substantial feel to it, even at that fine gauge.
I want more! So many colors!

Warm and sharp
Love these. They are smooth without the stitch-losing slick of metal, and sharp enough especially compared to bamboo needles to catch a stitch without splitting the yarn.
And so clever - each size has its own color designation so you don't accidentally throw together 7's and 8's.

Harvest Hues
I bought this color #7824 - Jack O'Lantern hoping for a 'Denver Broncos' orange... and such hopes were dashed. This is more of a burnt orange, more suited for autumn harvest-themed projects. Which makes me just as happy. Cascade 220, as always, is a fabulous work-horse wool, that softens with use and felts like a dream.
