Schaefer Yarn Laurel in Beatrix Potter

Schaefer Yarn Laurel is an aran weight yarn spun from 100% mercerized Pima cotton. The long-staple Pima fibers create a yarn that is exceptionally soft, durable, and smooth, while mercerization enhances the cotton's strength, subtle sheen, and ability to hold vibrant color. Its cable-plied construction provides outstanding stitch definition and resilience, making it ideal for textured stitches, cables, and garments that benefit from crisp, polished fabrics. With an unusually generous put-up, Laurel is well suited for larger projects such as sweaters, wraps, and home décor.
