I have only used this yarn for felting. I have felted three hats and two pair of mittens and was very pleased with the results.

Lovely color and texture but needs a lot of coaxing to felt with other fibers. Safest to tack it down with roving.

Comments about Cascade Yarn Cascade Pastaza Yarn #008 Black:

This is one of the most beautiful yarns I have ever used to knit for felted purses, and I've made many. Using a double strand makes the purse very strong, so strong that after felting, you can actually just punch a hole with scissors to pull thru the purse handle and knot. But the real surprise is the beautiful, hairy, soft texture that is created in the felting process.

Comments about Cascade Yarn Cascade Pastaza Yarn #008 Black:

I use the Cascade Pastaza yarn in my felted purses. It is wonderful to work with...very soft and knits up quickly. It felts to a very dense fabric. The color was so rich it was the deepest black I have ever used. I would use it for sweaters, too as it is so, so soft!

Comments about Cascade Yarn Cascade Pastaza Yarn #008 Black:

Made felted hats for Christmas gifts. They worked up in a night. I gave them slightly damp to several so they could shape them as they liked. They were quite a hit with the recipient's and I was able to give lovely gifts within my budget of time and money!
