Our take on the Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted Yarn, Wintermint

Wool of the Andes Worsted is a 100% Peruvian highland wool yarn in a medium worsted weight, sold in 50-gram skeins. It is a workhorse yarn for sweaters, hats, mittens and colorwork: it felts, blocks well and holds cables and texture. Knitters often compare it to Cascade 220 and other budget worsted wools, and most find it softer than expected for the price, though some call it scratchy against bare skin. It suits cold-weather garments and accessories more than next-to-skin wear for sensitive skin.

Questions and answers

Is Wool of the Andes good for sweaters?
Yes. It is a worsted-weight pure wool with good stitch definition and enough durability for everyday sweaters. It is best layered over something rather than worn directly on sensitive skin.
How does it compare with Cascade 220?
Both are affordable worsted wools with wide color ranges. Wool of the Andes tends to feel a bit rougher and is sold in smaller skeins, while Cascade 220 is often described as slightly softer.
Can I machine wash it?
It is not superwash wool, so machine washing risks felting and shrinking. Hand wash in cool water and dry flat unless you intend to felt the piece.
Is it good for colorwork?
Yes. The large shade range and firm twist make it a common choice for stranded colorwork and Fair Isle patterns.
What is in a skein?
Each skein is 50 grams of worsted-weight 100% highland wool. Check the yardage on the label and buy enough from one dyelot for a whole project.
