FAQ

Is Cascade Eco+ superwash?
No. It's natural, untreated wool, so hand wash it cold. That's also why it felts so well.

Can I felt Cascade Eco+?
Yes. Because it's 100% untreated wool, it felts beautifully for bags, slippers, and bowls.

How many skeins do I need for a sweater?
At 478 yards per skein, many adult bulky sweaters take about 2 to 4 skeins, depending on size and pattern. Check the yardage on your pattern.

What needles should I use?
US 9–10 (5.5–6 mm) knitting needles, or a K–L (6.5–8.0 mm) crochet hook.
