Cascade Magnum is a soft, polar weight Peruvian Highland wool yarn (10-11 mm needles) packed in magnum hanks, 250 grams each. It is suitable for hand knit coats, sweaters, jacktes, accessories, decor projects, and felting. Big, quick, and comfy.

Known facts: "Proving that record-seeking is a truly international sport, Peruvian stitchers have gotten into the act. During the summer 2010, they knit up 1,800 knitted swatches that were joined into a massive 40-by-40cm sweater, three times larger than the previous Largest Sweater in the World. The sweater, unveiled in Lima during World Wide Knit in Public Week, was sponsored by Peru’s Education Ministry and Coats Cadena; the individual pieces will be converted into ponchos that will be sent to children who live in the Andean highlands to stave off the extreme cold there." - source: Yarn Market News, August 2010 eUpdate.
