Description Cascade Anchor Bay is a beautifully balanced blend of 50% cotton and 50% superwash merino wool, offering the best of both fibers: breathability, next-to-skin softness, and gentle elasticity. This collection highlights Anchor Bay’s marled colorways—two-tone strands twisted together for visual texture and depth. The marled effect brings even the simplest stitches to life, making it ideal for lightweight sweaters, summer accessories, and standout baby knits. Why Anchor Bay yarn works for West Texas summers: Don’t let the wool content fool you—this blend is surprisingly breathable. Cotton provides coolness and structure, while the superwash merino adds just enough bounce and moisture-wicking power to prevent cling or sag. The result? A comfortable fabric that holds its shape and feels soft against sun-kissed skin—even in a dry climate. Machine washable and easy to work with, Anchor Bay is a dream on the needles or hook. Choose it when you want stitch definition with a playful, modern edge.
