Cupro 4 ply

Cupro 4ply type is a refined yarn made from a fiber often described as "plant-based silk". Cupro is produced from cotton linter cellulose - the very fine fibers that surround cotton seeds. This makes it a regenerated cellulose fiber with a luxurious feel, elegant appearance, and beautifully fluid drape.

To the touch, cupro feels smooth, cool, and silky. It creates knitted and woven fabrics with a soft flow, a subtle sheen, and a sophisticated finish. It is an excellent choice for makers who want a modern, luxurious alternative to silk that is comfortable to wear and visually refined.

Cupro 4ply type works beautifully in both knitting and weaving. It gives projects softness, movement, and elegance, making it especially suitable for tops, blouses, lightweight sweaters, shawls, scarves, and delicate apparel fabrics.
