Ultra Pima Fine is a light sport-weight cotton - the little sibling of Ultra Pima. It is already available in 53 colors and is a joy to work - it is equally good for knitting and crocheting. As usual, I was curious what I could create out of 1 skein. In the ZigZag lace pattern, I was able to get an 8" x 30" scarf out of one skein and now I have 3 options -1, 2, or 4 skein - short scarf, long scarf, wrap. Also, this is a great learning/teaching pattern - as you can see the bias created by both SSK and K2Tog.
