Malabrigo Pima Cotton, luxury that is perfect for warmer weather!
Verano, Malabrigo's only 100% cotton offering, is named after the Spanish word for summer. Offered in a varied palette of bright and deep colours, you are sure to fall in love with this yarn, like we did!
Pima Cotton, or Extra Long Staple cotton, is softer than regular cotton and comes from a different plant variety as cheaper cotton. It is more durable due to its extra long stable fibres, and this means that it is more resistant to pilling. Breathable and moisture-wicking, it is the perfect yarn for warm weather crafting.
What's more, it is hypo-allergenic and perfect for even the most delicate skins.
Great for: Summer garments, items for sensitive skins and for vegans/vegetarians. Beautiful for shawls as well!

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since bags do not have dye lots, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
