Since its founding in 1987, Cascade Yarns has had the mission of providing the highest-quality yarns at a reasonable price. Seeing the need for a washable synthetic yarn that was also affordable, Cascade set about to create a nylon/acrylic yarn of unparalleled softness. The Cherub line combines the softest of acrylic with nylon’s body and bounce. Soft and durable, Cherub is ideal for children and babies. We hope that you enjoy the experience of knitting with Cascade’s Cherub line of yarns. For a current listing of available colors see www.cascadeyarns.com.
