Last week we asked our followers on Facebook and Twitter for a suggestion for a sale yarn for this week. Bev M. asked for Cascade Ecological Wool and we are happy to oblige. In fact, Eco Wool, as well as Cascade 220 and Cascade 220 SW will be seeing some price increases later this summer due to the rising cost of wool so this is the perfect time to stock up on this workhorse yarn. Ecological Wool (a great assortment of natural colors) and Eco + (wonderful dyed colorways) is such a phenomenal yarn. It's soft, incredibly economical and well suited to everything from accessories to blankets. So stock up for fall now!

Ecological Wool is 15% off through 7/31.

Finn-ish Socks by Janice King

Sturdy, well-priced and available in a wide range of solid colors it creates crisp colorwork and texture that pops. Try it also for lace, baby knits and light-weight accessories and sweaters.
