We have a new yarn to share! Cascade Yarns has released a thicker, sport weight sock yarn called Heritage 6! This 6ply weight yarn is the superwash merino/nylon blend we love in original (fingering weight) Cascade Heritage, but just a bit thicker. It comes in a nice array of solid colors, and I'm betting they will add more colors and even variegated hues as time allows.
You might remember Cascade Heritage 150, which was a 150g 6ply version of Heritage that we had here in the shop years ago. It was discontinued and I've been waiting several years for a replacement. I'm super happy with this one.
This will be perfect for thicker, squishier socks like this or this. I also like it for a Dahlia Hat or a DRK Everyday Sweater.
My time seems to be very limited now that school has started, I'm coaching some school sports and playing volleyball, the kids are enrolled in their activities and James is started Driver Ed (I had to tell you b/c I'M STILL SO SHOCKED THAT THIS TIME HAS ARRIVED).... really, we are quite busy this time of year so anything I can do to get more out of my limited time is great. Sport weight socks it is!
The sport weight Cascade looks lovely. It’d be perfect for a lightweight sweater you could actually wear in most houses. And so many lovely colors.
You think you’re in shock with James starting driving lessons? Wait until you see what his having a license does to your insurance premiums!
