As vivid and lustrous as the glossy plumage of a tropical bird, Cotton Chirp DK is a totally irresistible 100% Peruvian Pima cotton yarn... Silky-soft, brilliantly colorful, and such a joy to knit, your heart will soar with every stitch!

• Cotton Chirp DK is a celebration of one of the most exceptional cotton varieties in the world. Pima cotton, prized for its long, silky fibers, has been grown in Peru for over 6,000 years, and we’re proud to partner with a Peruvian mill that carries on this extraordinary textile tradition. We chose to make this yarn with unmercerized cotton, which is softer to the touch, more absorbent, and gentler on the environment... Cotton the way we love to knit it!
• This light worsted/DK-weight yarn is made of twelve 2-ply strands spun together for an incredibly strong, even, round yarn with excellent stitch definition and drape. 
• Pick from 32 vibrant colors, as lively and varied as a rainforest canopy in full chorus! These 100-gram balls are the macaws of the bunch, big, bold, and impossible to overlook. For playful pops of color ripe for mixing and matching, check out our Cotton Chirp DK Minis, the same soft cotton yarn in 25-gram balls that dazzle like tiny hummingbirds. Pick up a curated 4-color bundle or a full-spectrum flock of all 32 shades and let color take wing!
• Soft, durable, and machine-washable, Cotton Chirp DK is perfect for everything from warm-weather garments and baby knits to colorful housewares and blankets. For so many inspiring ideas for full-size balls and Minis alike, explore our collection of knitting patterns for Cotton Chirp DK!
