Gather under the shade of your favorite tree, it’s time for a picnic! Our soft and breezy Picnic Cotton captures the very spirit of summer.

• 100% Peruvian Pima cotton, this fingering weight yarn is made from fibers with an extra-long staple length that make for a uniquely smooth and strong yarn.
• Spun in a two-color ingabbiato structure (“encaged” in Italian), Picnic Cotton starts with a soft, fluffy warm-white core, which then gets intermittently wrapped in delicate, colored threads. Knit up, it makes a beautifully marled fabric with a gentle, lovely drape.
• Machine wash- and dryable, Picnic Cotton comes in very affordable 50-gram skeins and nineteen fresh colors inspired by the sweetness of summer. Think Red Poppy, Sweet Nectarine, and Key Lime! We love this light fingering-weight yarn for cool summer garments and accessories and anytime baby knits and housewares.
• We're also happy to say that Picnic Cotton is Peru Fair Trade Certified. This means the mill that makes it is committed to fair and safe working conditions, as well as a respect for the environment, with low-impact production techniques, a responsible consumption of resources, and the reuse, recycling, and reduction of raw materials. Very nice!
