Cancun yarn This yarn has been a best seller for three seasons. The colors are wonderful - there are beautiful muted shades as well as some fun and funky brights. This yarn works great when you double it with a thin cotton like we did in our tank top - or if you want a lighter, drapier look - it works well on it's own too. Cancun is also the perfect choice when you are looking to make a Missoni style striped garment -- the colors and texture work well when looking for this effect.
