Cascade Yarns

Cascade Yarns has been a family-owned Seattle company since 1987, built around the idea that affordable pricing shouldn't mean cutting corners on quality. Our Cascade selection spans sport through super bulky, anchored by Cascade 220 — one of the most widely used worsted wools in hand knitting — alongside superwash sock yarns, pure cotton, and easy-care blends.

Cascade Yarns built its reputation on sourcing quality wool through South American mills and keeping overhead low, which is part of why their yarns tend to be priced accessibly without sacrificing consistency. Cascade 220, their flagship worsted-weight wool, is one of the most widely stocked yarns in yarn shops for exactly that reason — a dependable, affordable wool available in a huge color range that works for nearly any worsted-weight pattern.

Beyond the 220 line, our Cascade selection includes superwash options at multiple weights for easy-care projects, Nifty Cotton for warm-weather and cotton-specific patterns, and superbulky bases like Lana Grande and Magnum for fast, chunky knits. Care varies by yarn — the superwash lines are machine washable, while the non-superwash 100% wool bases typically need hand washing — so check the individual product page before laundering.
