A 100% Pima cotton yarn, Serif is a super soft beauty, with a charming wave and subtle luster you'll want to write home about!

About This Yarn

• The look and feel of Serif are a quick reminder that Pima cotton is one of the highest grades of cotton available. Its long fibers create a durable yarn with a feather-soft touch.
• Serif’s structure, a roving-like single ply of cotton wrapped with a thin cotton thread, creates an undulating strand that knits into a slightly knobbly fabric, elegant but playful and absolutely gorgeous.
• Each 100-gram skein of this machine-washable yarn has 164 yards and is best knit on US 4-6 (3.5-4 mm) knitting needles. Its gauge makes it a light worsted/DK-weight yarn that veers into worsted weight territory, too!
• Serif is available in a palette of 20 lovely colors, from Quiet Lake to Yellow Haystack, each with an innate glowing beauty. Pick your favorites and cast on for one of our free Serif knitting patterns... You will love this yarn!
