Cascade 220 Superwash Wave is a worsted-weight, machine-washable wool yarn sold in 100g balls, each blending two shades that graduate in and out of each other as you knit. It is the same soft, sturdy Superwash wool base as Cascade 220, with the color shifts doing the work instead of stitch patterns. Knitters rate it highly for stitch definition, a soft non-itchy hand and easy care, which makes it a practical pick for colorwork and children's knits. The main caveat is color accuracy: a few buyers say the shades differ from the photos, so swatch before committing to a large project.

Cascade 220 Superwash Wave is a 100% wool yarn in the color Grapes (117). Each 100g ball blends two shades that move in and out of each other in graduated tones, so you can work with mixed colors without joining separate yarns.
It is a worsted weight yarn with a soft, squishy feel and good stitch definition, which suits colorwork. It can be used for accessories, separates and home textiles.
The yarn is superwash, so finished pieces can be machine washed and tumble dried.
