The fibers of the Pima cotton are so long and fine, that it must be hand-picked to avoid getting it tangled up. The fibers have an almost silky shine and results in a delicate and soft cotton yarn.
Because of the long fibers of the Pima cotton, the yarn does not need to be twisted as many times, therefore, the yarn remains soft.
The extra long fibers are included in the group of cotton called ELS (extra long staple). The long fibers of the cotton increases the quality and causes, that they do not fray as easy – also known as peeling tendency. This makes Pima cotton very lasting, and a durable cotton of the finest quality.
Pima cotton has higher strengths and durability than almost any other cotton, furthermore, it is more resistant to shrinkage and fading.
The Pima cotton is coloured according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® in solid and unique colours, specially made for CaMaRose.
The softness of the Pima cotton makes it very suitable for baby, children’s and adult knitwear, or for those who prefer cotton instead of wool.
Pima cotton keeps well in use and after washing, and does not get hard after getting washed. Just like it is important to wash wool with the correct detergent, it is just as important to wash cotton with the right detergent, containing enzymes and is specially developed for cotton. It’s recommended to wash your finished work at 30-40°C.
The recommended gauge is 28-30 sts per 10 cm on a 2.5-3 mm needle. The length is 200 meters per skein (50 grams).

“My name is Trine Bertelsen, I am a yarn wholesaler and the owner of CaMaRose.dk.
I founded my company in 2010, under the name Strikkebogen.dk, it started as a web shop, with my own designed patterns for babies and children
In late 2010, I started importing yarn from Peru and started wholesaling to other shops.
I started with only Pima cotton and the Lama cotton 1/2, but soon I began to expand the range and developed new qualities such as Lamatweed.
I have been designing and writing knitting and crochet patterns since 2008. Before founding my own business, I worked as a freelance knit designer for other wholesalers in Denmark and abroad, for weekly magazines and knitting magazines. The experience I gained from working for others has been absolutely indispensable and I am even convinced that designing and writing a good knitting / crochet pattern is something that takes many years to learn and it is something that is always developing.
From the very beginning of 2010, my 3 children have inspired me to design and are my daily sources of inspiration. This is the reason why I chose to change the name of my company from the Strikkebogen to CaMaRose.dk, it is abbreviation of my 3 children’s names, Carl-Emil, Mathilde and Anna-Rose.
My mission, from the beginning, was to be able to sell good quality yarn under my own name, which is affordable and not available elsewhere . I chose to work with with suppliers who comply with ethical and environmental regulations with regards animals and the environment in the production of yarn. In addition to this i wanted to design knitting and crochet patterns that are easily available and fashionable.
