Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima – 100% Pima Cotton DK Yarn

Smooth, lustrous, and wonderfully versatile — Ultra Pima by Cascade Yarns is one of the most beloved cotton yarns in the knitting world, and for good reason. Made from 100% mercerized pima cotton grown in Peru, it has a beautiful sheen, a silky hand, and a cool breathability that makes it a go-to for warm-weather garments, baby projects, and anything that needs to look polished and hold up through repeated washing.

Ultra Pima is also the preferred yarn (alongside its lighter sibling, Cascade Ultra Pima Fine) for creating knitted and crocheted prostheses on behalf of our partners at KnittedKnockers.org — a cause we're proud to support here at Apple Yarns.
