Cascade Ultra Pima

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.

We’ve selected 10 colors that range from sandy neutrals to bright tropicals and earthy greens—each one chosen with summer making and year-round versatility in mind.
