Cascade Leisure Bulky,
made in Peru

Leisure Bulky is an exceptionally soft yarn spun from a blend of the super finest Peruvian alpaca and Pima cotton. This yarn is designed similarly to crêpe yarns: a strand of Pima cotton is wrapped around the hard-twisted alpaca core, and has a slightly slubbed, beautiful bouclé-like texture so called crêpe. Leisure Bulky is extremely soft, and is suitable for any types of autumn-winter knitwear: from sweaters, coats and baby knitwear, to accessories: bags and backpacks.
