Cascade 220 sources?

[susanjp]

I've seen this yarn mentioned in a few posts. Is it 100% wool, is it pricey and where do you guys find it?

Thanks

I haven't had the chance to get to use this yet, but can't wait myself!
It is 100% Peruvian Wool, here's what I found:

That site seems to be the cheapest I've seen so far...

HTH!

Pam.... didn't you say you had heard from Cascade, and they said it is merino?

My best source is my yarn store in Toledo. They seriously have EVERY color Cascade sells.

But that price on the link is great. Mine is $ 6.50 a skein, I think.

My LYS is not going to carry Cascade anymore. :( She said the company is a pain to work w/. :( I'll have to check out those links!

onefineyarn.com carries it and offers "grab bags" for a good deal.

Oh yes they are a pain to work with. I inquired about wholesale and it was like a 10,000 min order!!!!! :shocked:

i get it from my LYS for $6.25 a skein. they cycle colors so they don't always have every color under the sun. this causes me to stock up

[FabriConnection]

Yes 10,000.00 :lol: Man I"d have to preorder that crap for like 6 months and then some just to meet the minimum :lol:

And my local yarn store was griping b/c Lion Brand wanted an order of 300 skeins of Fishermans as a minimum.

My LYS just opened another store that they are stocking very slowly. Now I guess I understand why. It's a beautiful location. They just need more yarn.
