Malabrigo Worsted is a single-ply yarn made from fine Uruguayan Merino wool. It is soft and squishy, with good stitch definition. It comes in solid, semi-solid, and variegated colors.
The yarn is kettle-dyed in small batches by artisan dyers, so the color varies subtly within each skein. Each skein looks slightly different from the next, and no two are exactly alike. Photos are approximate.
It suits accessories, hand-wash-friendly garments, and next-to-skin wear. It works for cables, textured stitches, and colorwork, and it can also be used for felting projects.
