Great first impression to cotton yarn!
This color is gorgeous in person, almost like a dragon fruit red! It crochets very nicely and holds its shape when worn. It was my first time working with cotton yarn and I have to say I’m a fan now!

I love the Ultra Pima fine. I am trying to use smaller yarn. I'm exploring more of a lace feel with my projects. I love the Ultra Pima cotton. I love the fact that it's 100% cotton. I can give my loved ones gifts with confidence.
I purchased the Ultra Prima, it was supposed to be a DK? It knitted up more like a light/ worsted. I hated it! Got this and it’s peridot my summer tee!
Soft, perfect color that I ordered. Perfectly for baby clothes
Love knitting with this yarn. Great drape, perfect for baby blankets!
Very soft, exactly the right gauge for what I needed, and a nice shine to it.
The yarn is beautiful to work with, crochets up very nicely!!
The Ultra Pima is beautiful as usual Good value for my$
My current favorite for the projects I'm working on. There are many colors available to use.
