🧵 The yarn

Katia PARAISO Cotton is a 100% pure cotton yarn designed for those who love creating colorful summer garments without having to change balls during their work. Each ball features a pre-made striped multicolor print, which automatically creates a vibrant and cheerful effect on any project. Ideal for hobbyists and crafters looking for a fresh, breathable, and easy-to-work cotton, whether knitting or crocheting.

The 100-gram format with 360 meters of length offers exceptional yield: with just one ball, you can make a light stole or a cowl, while two balls will create a complete shawl. It is worked with needles or crochet hooks n° 3-3.5, perfect for light and defined stitches that highlight the stripe effect without making the garment heavy.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The choice of 100% cotton is not random: this natural fiber guarantees freshness and breathability even on the hottest days, making the yarn ideal for garments worn directly against the skin. Cotton absorbs moisture without retaining heat, allowing the skin to breathe and maintaining a feeling of comfort throughout the day. It is perfect for those looking for a summer yarn that doesn't itch and is suitable even for the most sensitive skin.

The smooth and regular texture of the yarn slides easily on the needles, making knitting quick and enjoyable. PARAISO cotton maintains good stitch definition in both knitting and crocheting, allowing for garments with a clean and professional structure. The multicolor print is integrated into the fiber itself, ensuring an even distribution of colors without smudges or irregularities.

📦 Yarn ball format and yield

Each ball weighs 100 grams and contains approximately 360 meters of yarn, a truly generous yield for summer projects. With just one ball, you can make a light stole or a cowl, while two balls will create a complete shawl of comfortable size. For a long-sleeved sweater size 44, about 4 balls are needed, making the project economical and quick to complete.

For larger projects, we recommend purchasing all necessary balls at once, preferably from the same dye lot. Although the multicolor print is standardized, small variations between different lots might be visible on large garments. Always keep the yarn ball label to check the lot number for subsequent purchases.

🧶 Recommended needle/hook size

PARAISO Cotton is worked with needles n° 3.0 – 3.5, a size that ensures a light but sufficiently compact fabric to maintain the garment's shape. With needles n° 3, you get a tighter stitch, ideal for tops and t-shirts that require more coverage, while with needles n° 3.5, the fabric is airier and softer, perfect for summer shawls and stoles. The reference gauge is 23 stitches x 30 rows for a 10x10 cm square, useful data for accurately calculating the number of stitches to cast on.

With a crochet hook n° 3.0 – 3.5, the yarn performs equally well, creating defined and regular stitches. It is perfect for single crochet, half double crochet, or double crochet stitches, ideal for summer tops, lightweight bags, and fashion accessories. The smooth texture of the cotton slides easily on the hook, making it quick to work even for beginners. Thanks to the integrated stripe effect, even the simplest stitches create a visually interesting result.

✨ Why choose Katia PARAISO Cotton

The true strength of PARAISO Cotton compared to other multicolor yarns is the pre-made striped print: you don't have to worry about changing balls, tying knots, or dealing with loose ends.
