A 100% Pima cotton yarn, Serif is a super soft beauty, with a charming wave and subtle luster you’ll want to write home about!

  • The look and feel of Serif are a quick reminder that Pima cotton is one of the highest grades of cotton available. Its long fibers create a durable yarn with a feather-soft touch.

  • Serif’s structure, a roving-like single ply of cotton wrapped with a thin cotton thread, creates an undulating strand that knits into a slightly knobbly fabric, elegant but playful and absolutely gorgeous.

  • Each 100-gram skein of this machine-washable yarn has 164 yards and is best knit on US 4-6 (3.5-4 mm) knitting needles. Its gauge makes it a light worsted/DK-weight yarn that veers into worsted weight territory, too!

  • Serif is available in a palette of 20 lovely colors, from Quiet Lake to Yellow Haystack, each with an innate glowing beauty. Pick your favorites and cast on for one of our free Serif knitting patterns… You will love this yarn!

  • The mill that makes this yarn is OEKO-TEX–SteP Certified, guaranteeing processes that respect the natural environment and provide optimum working conditions.

  • Looking for more yarn like this? Sunshower Cotton covers some of the same gauge range and is dappled with fun color, while DK-weight Morning combines organically grown cotton with a touch of yak fiber. Daily Wool Worsted is a great substitute for a superwash wool option, and for a gorgeous yarn from Ireland with a perfect gauge match (although probably on different size needles!), check out Hedgerow!

  • Be sure to also shop our other light worsted/DK-weight yarn, cotton yarn, machine washable yarn, and plant-based yarn, all available only at Purl Soho.
