This yarn is much softer than other cotton yarns and does not feel stiff at all. Ultra Pima is mercerized using a different process which makes it so much softer than the other mercerized cotton yarns out there. It's machine washable and ready for wear, but has a pretty, subtle shine and classic cotton simplicity. Use it for summer sweaters and all things baby.
