Cascade Ultra Pima - Parsnip 3876
This yarn captures the quiet beauty of late autumn fields— a soft, muted golden beige with warm undertones, like sun-dried wheat stalks just before winter. Its color speaks of harvest, warmth, and nostalgia, with a gently weathered quality that brings a rustic elegance to any project.
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.
