review: Cascade Ecowool

Cascade ecowool is a unique product. Simple in form and style, it offers an alternative to the variety of designer options available to the modern knitter. Made from100% Peruvian wool, this yarn is not dyed, nor is it processed. It is simply a cleaned, spun, two-ply. For what it is, though, this yarn comes in an astounding array of natural colors— everything from a deep chocolate to off-white— and knits with a drape and evenness that is to be envied by much of its fancier competition. For a no-frills unprocessed wool, it is also surprisingly soft and comfortable on the skin.

Probably the best part about ecowool, though, is the value. Each skein of this product holds over 400 yards of yarn, bulky weight. This makes it ideal for large projects, such as loose sweaters and blankets. And if you don’t like the colors? Well, just pull out your kool-aid packets.
