    Lovely soft yarn

    Really lovely soft yarn. I thought the skeins merged together well with little variation, which is sometimes a problem with hand dyed skeins. Only downside, the smell of the yarn is horrible. Smells very vinegary but better now my sweater has been washed and blocked.

Description

Soft, strong, and washable, this worsted weight yarn is Malabrigo's workhorse! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. And like all of Malabrigo's yarns, it’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash merino, it comes in an array of watercolour-multi, semi-solid, and variegated colorways.

Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids items, housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, colorwork.

Note: Malabrigo comes in small dye lots so please be sure to buy enough yarn for your project. As with any hand dyed yarn, there can be significant shade differences between skeins, even within a dye lot, so we recommend that you alternate skeins every few rows to prevent striping.
