Cascade Yarns is hosting a blanket KAL and I know that many of you participated in it last time, so I wanted to share this one with you. Details can be found here at this PDF, which also includes many color ideas. If you see a four color combo there and you don't see one of the hues on our website, I'm happy to help you find a sub for it, as we do carry all the colors of Cascade 220 Superwash. It could be that someone simply purchased the last of a color you want and it's coming soon, or that we could find you a nice sub. They have so many great colors that it's easy to sub things here and there and come up with a stunning result.
If you do want something particular and we don't have the quantity in stock right now, just e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll put in an order at the end of the week to get you what you need. The KAL doesn't start until the end of the month, so it gives us plenty of time to get the yarn here and into your hands.
There are several pages of colors ideas at this link. And, again, if you want something you don't see on our website, just e-mail me, Allison, at [email protected] and we can do a special order and have it to you in a couple weeks. The pattern calls for 17 balls of yarn, so obviously qualifies for free US shipping too.
Cascade 220 Superwash is the yarn that I use for all the baby blankets I make for friends. While it's soft and holds up well to washing, I'll admit that my favorite thing about this yarn is the wide array of colors. There's nothing quite like standing at our back wall and seeing 150+ colors all lined up and being able to imagine the possibilities.
I've noticed that KALs (knitalongs) have gained popularity since the pandemic. Since we all can't get out and about with our friends like we used to, it's a great way to share with others, get inspired by someone else's color ideas and creativity, and feel like we're doing a bit of adventuring. It's a fun chance of pace, if you're not used to doing one. Do join!
To make it super easy, here's what you do in three steps:
- Go here to sign up for Cascade's newsletter so you get the clues to the mystery pattern when they are released on Sept. 29.
- Read this so you have the details and can choose your colors.
- Go to the Cascade 220 Superwash section to purchase your yarn. Don't see the color/s you want in the quantities you need? E-mail me, Allison, at [email protected] and ask to do a special order that we'll order for you at the end of the week so that we can get your yarn to you before the Mystery KAL begins at the end of the month. Several of you have already e-mailed today asking for colors that sold out fast and we'll make that happen.
- Want to shop for your colors in person? Come visit us this Saturday or Tuesday! Our full schedule of open days is here and we're located in Fort Wayne, IN.

Is there a needle size for this. I haven’t been able to find one?
