Super soft Israeli Mako cotton and a bit of nylon for added strength, Nimbus Stripes is a new unique self striping print using the bulky Nimbus as a base! Each knits up at a chunky gauge of 12-15 stitches per 4 inches on US 9-11 (5.5-8.0mm) needles. Imagine the joy of warm weather cotton knitting combined with a bulky gauge. Fairly unique, wouldn't you agree?
