    malabrigo sock yarn

    Many sock yarns, as well as being labelled 'superwash', also contain a proportion of nylon for harder wear, whereas Malabrigo sock is 100% merino, and as a result it is beautifully soft. I do not knit socks so am unable to vouch for its foot-wearability, but for shawls it is near perfect . Also, I love the colours as they are very subtle and wearable.

    Very very soft

    I just love Malabrigo, the colour is just fantastic, it must be the way they kettle dye the yarn. I just cannot wait to use this.

Description

A soft, smoothly-plied, lightweight sock yarn spun from luxurious merino and treated to make it machine washable for easy care. Don't be fooled by the name - while it's certainly a treat for the feet, this delightful yarn is also a particular favourite for shawls and scarves!

Great for: lace, shawls, scarves, garments, baby and child items, gloves and of course socks!

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.
