Description

Cascade Heritage® is a fingering-weight favorite for good reason. Blending superwash merino wool with nylon, this yarn is strong enough for hardworking socks yet soft enough for baby garments, shawls, and next-to-skin projects.

The smooth, plied texture gives beautiful stitch definition for lace, cables, and colorwork, while its generous yardage (437 yards per skein!) means fewer ends to weave in and more knitting between wind-ups. Whether you’re crafting cozy socks, elegant cowls, or heirloom baby gifts, Heritage delivers dependable quality and vibrant color.

We’ve selected 12 lively and versatile shades—including bold brights, playful pastels, and classic neutrals—to spark inspiration across seasons and styles.
