Yarn substitution – CASCADE 220 yarn wool ? Any suggestion please?
It is a Worsted Weight Yarn, I am looking for substitution as UK is selling these ar around £5 to 6, pretty high prices if I need 8 balls to knit a bag!!

Any yarn substitution that works well? must be 100% wool for felting.
thanks
Shetland wool from Jamieson & Smith in the Shetlands. Have a look at their website and order the shade card – can’t be beaten. They will suggest the equivalent to worsted yarn (you can also phone them – very attentive service).
