With shadow colors and a subtle sheen, SIEMPRE is just perfect to add that special something to a basic piece or a knit stitch panel. Make life easier for yourself and let the yarn do the work! SIEMPRE will impress you with its soft handle and hand-dyed tone-on-tone effect, a mixture of classic cotton and cupro. Cupro, also known as vegan silk, is a viscose produced from cotton linter, a waste product of the cotton industry, which gives the yarn a shimmer and a cooling touch, resulting in flowing, crease-resistant pieces.
