Description Cascade Ultra Pima is everything we love in a cotton yarn: smooth, soft, beautifully drapey, and just the right amount of shine. Made from 100% mercerized cotton, it works up with elegant stitch definition and is breathable, durable, and machine washable—perfect for summer garments, market bags, baby items, and decorative accessories. This DK-weight cotton has a luxurious feel that makes it a pleasure to knit or crochet with, especially for those who prefer non-wool fibers. It’s cool to the touch, holds color vibrantly, and softens even more with wear and washing.
