Cascade Ultra Pima - North Sea 3877
Dive into rich, ocean-inspired color with this intensely dyed dark seafoam teal green yarn. A deep, saturated blend of teal, sage, and cool jade, this shade evokes the mystery of shadowed coastal waters and the smooth elegance of sea glass. Crafted from 100% Pima cotton, this DK-weight yarn is luxuriously soft, mercerized for a subtle sheen, and incredibly durable—perfect for garments, accessories, and heirloom-quality baby items. Its cool, earthy tones bring boldness without overpowering your design.
Pima cotton is a premium variety known for its extra-long staple fibers, which range from 1.4 to 2 inches—significantly longer than conventional cotton (typically up to 1.1 inches). This added length results in a smoother, softer, and more durable fabric that’s also naturally wrinkle-resistant. In fact, Pima cotton products are said to last up to 50% longer than those made from standard cotton, making them an excellent choice for sensitive skin and everyday wear.
Ultra Pima is a standout among Pima cotton yarns. It's super-soft, breathable, and ideal for all-season projects. This [3] DK-weight yarn offers wonderful versatility—perfect for everything from sweaters to baby clothes. Unlike some mercerized cottons that feel stiff, Ultra Pima remains supple and smooth, thanks to a unique mercerization process that sets it apart. Plus, it's machine washable, making it as easy to care for as it is luxurious to wear.
