Cascade Yarns
Cherub DK

We retain source units. Published pairings of 4 inches and 10 cm are approximate. “Not verified” means no supported value is recorded here; it does not mean the yarn lacks that property.

These records have overlapping published stitch gauges and a checked US retailer listing. They are unranked candidates, not confirmed substitutes; fiber and construction still need checking.
