How the yarn behaves

Malabrigo Chunky is a plied bulky-weight yarn made from pure Uruguayan merino wool. It is essentially Malabrigo's classic Worsted base 'fattened up' and plied, which gives it a soft and bouncy hand with excellent stitch definition for big cables, ribbing and bold texture. The kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colourways add depth and character. It works up very quickly into cosy sweaters, cardigans, hats, cowls, scarves, throws and toys, and it crochets beautifully for warm, textured fabrics. Because dye lots and even skeins in the same bag can vary, alternating skeins helps blend the colour. Care: hand wash cool with mild wool detergent and dry flat; non-superwash, so avoid agitation to prevent felting.
