Cascade Ultra Pima - Rose Cloud 3874
#3874 Faded rose is the color of soft, faded, and slightly washed-out peach with pink undertones evoking a sense of quiet nostalgia and gentle warmth. This hue sits delicately between blush and apricot, mellowed by time and sun, as if it once was brighter but has since softened through wear or washing. It carries an inherently vintage or romantic feel—like an old summer dress or a sun-bleached curtain swaying in a warm breeze.
Pima cotton is a higher-end cotton with a longer fiber than conventional cotton. It has a reputation for producing a smooth fabric that’s soft to the touch, wrinkle-resistant, and ultra-durable. Pima cotton fibers measure between 1.4 to 2 inches (conventional cotton fibers measure up to 1.1 inches long). Pima cotton yarn becomes softer and more durable than if it were made from a shorter staple cotton. Manufacturers say that Pima cotton has a 50% longer life expectancy than other cotton products. It’s also great for people who have sensitive skin!
Ultra Pima is super-soft pima cotton and great for all seasons! It's a [3] DK yarn, versatile enough to design anything from a sweater to baby garments! Ultra Pima is not stiff. Because Ultra Pima is mercerized using a different process, it's in a league of its own. Ultra Pima is machine washable for easy care.
