I have used this yarn for knitted knockers for many many years. Love it and I'm thinking about getting some for a cotton sweater. As always the apple yarn staffis great. Thanks, Martha

Doesn’t split, accepted by Knitted Knockers which is awesome. Was having trouble finding the darker colors for women of color.
Thank you!
Very nice yarn to work with.
Strong, smooth yarn with lovely luster. No splitting!
Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine for Crochet Knitted Knockers
I buyCascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine in Chocolate specifically to crochet Knited Knockers for women of color. To be honest, for light neutral colors I use Lion Brand Coboo. It isn't as nice as Cascade Ultra Pima Fine, but the cost is more affordable.
I’ve been using Cascade Ultra Pima Fine to make (crocheted) Knitted Knockers for years, and the group that I make them for loves them. And, for the last batch that I crocheted, the nurse in charge said that they were softer than ever.
The service provided by Apple Yarns also was—and always is—excellent!!
I love this yarn and always use it for my knockers. It is soft and doesn't split in use. Even though it is more expensive than other yarns, I feel it is worth it.
I love the feel of Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine for crocheting the knockers.
Thanks for the high quality rolled yarn so I can continue to crochet knitted knockers for a local Cancer organization.
Bought this to make knitted knockers. Yarn is so soft.
Both the yarn and customer service is wonderful - thank you. Apple Yarns appears to be on top of all orders and if there are questions, they will call or email to clarify. I wasn’t sure how the service would be since they are northern most west coast US and I am furthest south east US - but everything has been very timely - thank you
I am using the Ultra Pima Fine for Knitted Animal Friends knitted animals. They are so silky soft & the yarn shades are beautiful. Love this choice!
Thanks for your 5 star review of Cascade Ultra Pima Fine, Pat. It is the perfect choice for knitted animals. Loved seeing the ones you have knitted so far.
Cheers,
Deb
This is a great yarn to knit into knockers. I have been knitting knockers for several years now. This spring, my darling daughter-in-law was a recipient of a set from my knitting needles. Next, I plan to knit some knockers in approved yarn for when she goes swimming with her preschooler. I am so glad that there was something I could do to be of help to her.
Sheila, thank you for your 5 star review of Ultra Pima Fine yarn. We sure appreciate you and all the Knitted Knockers volunteers. We wish your daughter-in-law all the best!
Cheers

Wanted Cascade Yarn Ultra Pima for knitting Knitted Knockers. So disappointed.
Always a pleasure ordering from Apple Yarns. Their selection is gray, they are always friendly and I love that they wind the yarn (be sure to check that box).
