Paraiso, 100 g

Paraiso is a playful, self-striping 100% cotton yarn, the little sister of our solid-color basic quality, Panama. The yarns can be combined effortlessly with one another. In this lovely Paraiso cotton yarn, the colors change as quickly as summer days. Every ball of Paraiso is filled with rich shades that blend beautifully into one another through smooth color transitions.

Paraiso has a matte finish and is easy to knit with. The soft, long-staple cotton is breathable and absorbent, making it comfortable to wear even on warm days. Paraiso is also a reliable all-season yarn for creating garments and accessories for both adults and children, whether knitted or crocheted. It is equally suitable for adorable baby knits, such as baby blankets.

Our collection includes two soft, nature-inspired colorways. Both feature wheat yellow, soft blush pink, and natural white, along with several beautifully shifting color sections. Color 103 includes shades of green ranging from deep evergreen and moss green to fresh spring green. Color 105 transitions from deep plum through a muted blue-green to a soft pastel light blue.

Even balls of the same colour number may appear different on the outside due to the yarn's long colour transitions. To better showcase the various shades within each colourway, we photographed multiple balls for the colour selection images.
