With its gorgeous dappled color, Purl Soho's Sunshower Cotton yarn is as scintillating as the sun shining through a rainstorm, full of life and reflecting the complex beauty of the natural world.

About This Yarn

• Supremely soft in your hands, Sunshower Cotton is made in Italy of 100% organically grown cotton. It is a non-mercerized cotton, which has a wonderful absorbent quality with a lovely matte finish.
• Sunshower Cotton is a worsted-weight yarn spun in four plies, giving a satisfying heft and a very supple feel.
• The palette ranges from lively Bright Watermelon to moody Rain Storm, each color printed onto the spun fiber in a lovely drizzle.
• We love this machine wash- and dry-able yarn for housewares, blankets, garments, and baby knits, too. Explore our collection of free knitting patterns in Sunshower Cotton to find your next amazing project!
