When Cascade 220 Superwash Handpaints came into the store, I couldn't believe it was really a washable wool. The color combinations are so bright and vibrant, and the yarn texture is remarkably soft...so I had to try it.
I picked Helena from Knitty. (Two skeins will make a sweater up to the 12 month size.) I let the yarn sit awhile, but then a new baby arrived and I had a mission!
This yarn is wonderful to work with -- it has a nice springy wool feel to it and the colors blend beautifully as you knit. The pattern is quick, too; it is knit top-down so finishing is minimal. And the style would look lovely on any little girl.
