Berroco Pima 100
Berroco Pima 100 is a worsted weight 100% Pima cotton yarn spun into a 4-ply construction that delivers superior softness and exceptional stitch definition. Unlike mercerized cottons with their characteristic sheen, Pure Pima remains unmercerized for a natural matte finish that lets the rich color palette speak quietly and beautifully. Pima cotton, grown primarily in Peru's coastal valleys where ideal conditions produce extra-long staple fibers, creates a yarn that's strong and soft, making it ideal for garments that are worn and washed. The 4-ply structure means your stitches stay crisp and defined, perfect for textured stitch patterns, cables, and lace where you want every detail to show. Think draped, simple-silhouette tanks like the popular Petrie top, equally great dressed up or down, and summer cardigans, breathable tees, market bags that hold their shape, and baby garments where durability and softness matter equally. That matte finish makes Pure Pima particularly beautiful for colorwork too, preventing color distortion and letting your Fair Isle or intarsia patterns shine without competing sheen.
