What is Ultra Pima?
Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima is a light from Cascade Yarns. Composition: 100% pima cotton. One skein holds 200 m of yarn and weighs 100 g.
How the yarn behaves
Mercerised Pima cotton with a shiny, smooth surface and rich colour saturation. The longer staple of Pima cotton makes it softer than basic cotton, and the mercerisation adds gloss and lifts the colours. Crisp stitch definition for cables, lace and amigurumi; heavy fabric so long garments can grow over time. Cool against the skin in warmer weather, lightly warm under a layer. Machine wash and tumble dry low — one of the few cottons that takes the tumble dryer well. Pilling is minimal thanks to the mercerised finish.
