How the yarn behaves

Malabrigo Silky Merino is a single-ply yarn made from mulberry silk and merino wool. The silk content gives the yarn weighted drape, a soft natural lustre and a very smooth surface, while the merino keeps it light, warm and comfortable. The fabric is itch-free even on sensitive skin and drapes beautifully, making it well suited to shawls, scarves, wraps, lightweight tops and elegant cardigans; it crochets cleanly into soft, slightly shiny fabric. As a single ply, give it a small twist as you work to prevent splitting. Care: hand wash cool, do not wring, and dry flat to preserve the lustre and softness.
