Pima cotton is a high-quality type of cotton known for its exceptional softness, strength, and durability.
It is classified as an extra-long staple (ELS) cotton, meaning its fibers are longer than those of regular cotton. This contributes to its smooth texture and resistance to pilling

It is a super-soft pima cotton and great for all seasons! Ultra Pima is a DK weight knitting yarn so it's very versatile to design anything from a sweater to baby garments! Ultra Pima is much softer than other cotton yarns and does not feel stiff. Because Ultra Pima is mercerized using a different process, we believe it's in a league of its own. Ultra Pima is machine washable for easy care.
