Collection: Cascade Yarn

For quality yarn that is affordable to knit and crochet, we always come back to Cascade Yarns. This family company, originally based in Seattle, was founded by Bob Dunbabin in the last 1980s. At the time, premium yarns came largely from England and Italy. But, dedicated to quality and value, Bob sought out yarns from South America and worked with their suppliers to upgrade their equipment and production. To Bob, it didn’t matter where a yarn was made, so long as the materials were good, the spinning equipment right, and the workers happy and well-trained. Bob's son Rob and his daughter-in-law Shannon purchased the business in January of 2011. Shannon and Rob continue to follow Bob's mission, offering yarns that exceed expectations of both price and quality.

We love Cascade for their workhorse yarns, like 220. 220 Fingering,128 Superwash and Ultra Pima. But we also love their trendier yarns, like Cantata and Pluff. Because we're always knitting and crocheting, it's nice to have reliable, affordable yarns in our mix.
