This soft, lustrous merino yarn is ideal for accessory and garment projects where softness and crisp stitch definition are a priority. Knits beautifully at a worsted tension of 18 sts, but can also be knitted to a more DKish gauge of 20-22 sts. A hearty 4ply worsted weight superwash merino yarn with a lovely round structure, which is very satisfying to knit with. It is also extremely well priced for a hand dyed yarn which gives any garment or accessory extra interest. This smooth and soft yarn is perfect for garments and accessories and shows off texture, lace and cables equally well because of its crisp stitch definition.

Malabrigo’s signature style of kettle dyeing their yarn by hand, creates inky shades with mixed and semi-solid colours. This knits into fabric with a painterly quality that is even more exciting on textured stitches. We would recommend you stripe your skeins to prevent ‘colour pooling’ if you are making a larger project such as a sweater.

The yarn has been superwash treated to make it machine washable. As with all superwash yarns we recommend careful drying on a flat surface (don’t hang your wet knits!) so as not to stretch the fabric.

Malabrigo is a Uruguayan family business built around hand dyed Uruguayan merino wool. Today their spinning and dyeing operations still work largely with Urugayan wool but it is now dyed and spun in Peru.
