Rico Creative Cotton Stripes dk is super soft even though the yarn is 100% cotton. The four colored stripes that are repeated in each ball are characteristic of this yarn. Depending on the width of the knitted piece, the stripes change, so that a narrow scarf tends to have block stripes; with an oversize sweater it can almost become stripes. The thread is not completely dyed through, which gives the yarn a denim-like mélange look.
