Awesome yarn.....but it sheds a lot
I've tried four colours, so far, in the Cascade 220 worsted weight yarn series, and LOVE the way the yarn knits up. This is the only yarn I've ever used that doesn't make my hands itchy, break out into a rash, or cause me chemical sensitivities. My only complaint -- and so far, I've only found it with this particular colour -- is that the yarn sheds like crazy. I've used three other lighter colours, and didn't have this problem, so I'm not sure if it's the colour, or the fact that this was a "heathered" yarn? My sweater still looks AWESOME, though -- I just have to be careful not to wear it over light-coloured clothing!!!
