When the sun and rain keep company, the dappled world they create is fresh and bright, rich with color and alive with possibility! With its gorgeous stippled color, Purl Soho’s Sunshower Cotton is full of the same life and variation, reflecting the complex beauty of the natural world. Super soft and also sturdy, Sunshower Cotton is made in Italy of 100% organically grown cotton. A worsted-weight yarn spun in four plies, it has a wonderful absorbent quality, a satisflying heft, and a very supple feel. Best knit on a US 5 or 6 (3.75 or 4 mm) needles, Sunshower Cotton is available in 100-gram, 159-yard skeins and is machine wash- and dry-able. 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 yarn for housewares, blankets, and baby knits, too!
