A worsted weight cotton yarn with a beautiful color palette and several plies, Nifty Cotton Effects gives optimal strength without sacrificing any of the comforts of cotton. This yarn has a high twist and won't split while you knit, as many cotton yarns do, and is a heavy enough weight to make cozy cotton blankets and sweaters, while still being an excellent choice for market bags and backpacks. Fabrics made from this yarn will be comfortable to wear year-round and are naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and odor resistant. With 14 unique, variegated colorways, you can find what speaks to you and pair them with complimenting solid colorways dyed on the same yarn base found HERE.

About Cascade:
Bob Dunbadin founded the Cascade Yarns in the late 1980's. From their humble Pioneer Square beginnings in Seattle, Washington, they have moved and expanded, but have never lost their commitment to affordable, high-quality yarns.
In a time when most high-quality yarn was being crafted in Europe, Cascade instead looked to Peru. Cascade has always believed that so long as the materials and spinning equipment were high quality, and the workers well trained and happy, good yarn can come from anywhere.
A family-owned business since the beginning, Cascade is now run by Bob Dunbadin's son Rob and daughter-in-law Shannon. They continue Cascade's mission to offer exceptional quality yarn for an exceptional price.
