How the yarn behaves
Malabrigo Rasta is a single-ply super-bulky yarn made from premium Uruguayan merino wool, lightly felted with a slight twist for added integrity. It is hugely popular for cosy quick-make projects: oversized cowls, chunky scarves, hats, slouchy beanies, statement sweaters and outerwear, especially with cables and bold texture. It crochets beautifully into thick, lofty fabrics. Available in many painterly multi-tonal and semi-solid colourways. As a single ply it can pull apart, so give the strand a small twist as you work. Care: hand wash cool with mild wool detergent and dry flat; non-superwash, so avoid agitation that could cause additional felting and matting.
