Cotton Fine "the little yarn that could" is a blend of 80% pima cotton and 20% merino wool that creates a yarn that is both soft to the touch and delightfully resilient. It is comfortable for all seasons. This unique plied cabled yarn provides a beautiful texture and drape for every knitted garment. Most knitters do not stop a one project. Cotton Fine looks great knit from 7 stitches to the inch on size 4 needles to 5.75 stitches to the inch on size 6 needles.          From the front this is a classic raglan sleeve cardigan. From the back this cardigan is something special. The flaps are attached using the 3 needle bind off technique, except without the bind off.
