A Shimmery Summery Yarn

Cotton yarn often gets a bad reputation for being rough and hard to work with. While that's true of a lot of the cotton yarns out there, it's about the opposite of what you get when working with Berroco's Pure Pima yarn, which is a great choice for any summer garment knitting you might have planned.

This yarn's combination of shiny mercerized and matte regular cotton plied together makes for a nice subtle shine on the surface of the yarn, and the long Pima cotton staples make for a soft project, whatever you're knitting.

It's a little fussier than a standard cotton yarn typically is, but it's worth the extra work for the beautiful basics you can make with the yarn that you'll love to wear year after year.
