Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine – 100% Pima Cotton Sport Yarn

Ultra-smooth, silky, and gentle enough for the most sensitive skin — Ultra Pima Fine by Cascade Yarns is a standout cotton yarn for knitters and crocheters alike. Made from 100% mercerized pima cotton grown in Peru, it has a beautiful sheen, zero halo, and a cool, breathable hand that makes it ideal for warm-weather garments, baby projects, and delicate accessories.

Ultra Pima Fine is also the preferred yarn (alongside its heavier sibling, Cascade Ultra Pima) for creating crochet prostheses on behalf of our partners at KnittedKnockers.org — a cause close to our hearts here at Apple Yarns.
