Berroco Pima Soft Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Berroco Pima Soft Yarn Collection

About the Yarn

Berroco Pima Soft is a 100% Pima cotton yarn offered in a full spectrum color palette. This two-ply cotton yarn is characterized as lovely and delightfully soft, making it suitable for a wide range of projects including beautiful sweaters, accessories, and heirloom knits for babies, children, or home use. Each ball contains 124 yards per 50 grams.

The yarn requires gentle care: hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry to maintain its quality and softness.
