Pima Cotton Angora

 


Cascade Arcadia DK,
made in Peru

natural

In Greek mythology, Arcadia is "the virgin wilderness home of the god of the forest and his court of dryads, nymphs and other spirits of nature." Cascade Arcadia DK has a simple, cotton look, but is sophisticated in its fiber content: it is a 80/20 blend of pima cotton and angora. This yarn is 6-pied, machine washable, is suitable for chilly summer/spring articles because it has great insulation, and besides, it is very soft (like carefree life in Arcadia).

For information: Pima Cotton is a fine, long staple cotton (premium grade cotton), originally derived by crossing American and Egyptian species. It is named for Pima County in Arizona.
