Cascade Magnum

With only nine weeks until Christmas, time is of the essence for knitters right now.

The most wonderful time of the year is also quite often the busiest time of the year. And nothing is better for those with little spare time than super bulky yarns. One of our all time favorite super bulky yarns is, without a doubt, Cascade Magnum! With oodles of colours available and a ton of free patternsMagnum is great for last minute Christmas gifts.

 

 

There are so many reasons to love Magnum. Too many in fact, to mention them all, but we thought we could mention a few.

Magnum is a 100% Peruvian Highland wool that is available in a multitude of exquisite shades. Have a look at some of the plush colours available.

 

 

Rich heathers and sophisticated solids make up this palette of over 55 colours. This many options will make it easy to find a colour to please everyone on your wish list! Your biggest dilemma this year will be deciding which of your Magnum masterpieces you are willing to part with! We know you started out knitting them as gifts, the intention was there–it’s just that Magnum endears itself to you with each and every stitch making it so difficult to say goodbye to.

Due to the lofty, unspun nature of Magnum, it is amazingly warm yet astoundingly light–a pleasant surprise for a super bulky yarn! By virtue of it’s loftiness, sweaters knit in Magnum tend to keep their shape rather than stretching out because of the weight. And since Magnum is 100% wool, you’re not compromising on warmth.

 

 

Magnum knits up at an unbelievable 2 stitches per inch, meaning projects literally fly off the needles! Knit on jumbo needlesMagnum makes weekend projects a breeze.

Arm knitting? Yes please!! Magnum is absolutely perfect for arm knitting! Use a single strand for an understated look, or strand it together with different shades to create your very own custom variegated yarn.

Whatever your reasons for choosing to knit or crochet with super bulky yarns, we are positive that you will love working with Magnum as much as we do. Leave us a comment about what you love about knitting with Magnum, we love hearing from you.

Happy knitting and crocheting everyone!

  1. I purchased Estelle Worsted Z6l202 #11512 in Coldwater at the Purple sock and am knitting a fisherman’s knit scarf. Right in the middle of the scarf is a grey line of wool that is so annoying. It is obviously a flaw in the wool. Patricia Robertson

    1. Hi Patricia, We apologize for the flaw in the yarn. The best thing to do in this instance if you notice a different colouring in the yarn, is to cut that piece out to avoid discolouration in the yarn. Warm regards, Estelle Yarns
