Hello all.
I'm looking for a superwash yarn in dk weight that would work well for cables. What can you guys recommend, please?
Thanks,
Fran

Hi Fran, and welcome to the KR Forums! In response to your question, I think we'd need a little more info! What type of fiber do you want in your yarn?
Pure wool? Blend of fibers? Acrylic? It makes a difference, because they can behave in different ways.
Anyway, that said, I think Cascade superwash is a good product, (wool) and I am sure other folks will have their favorites!
Best wishes, and keep posting! What are you going to knit with this yarn?

Hi, Anna. Thanks. I prefer to use wool, and since it will be for a cardigan my daughter can wear to school I prefer something that can go in the wash with no worries. Thank you. I will look at the Cascade.

I've had excellent results (and excellent durability) with Dale of Norway's "Falk"

Thank you. I'm actually considering that for a different project, but will look at it for this one as well.
