How the yarn behaves

Malabrigo Washted is a single-ply worsted-weight yarn made from superwash merino wool, essentially a superwash version of Malabrigo's classic Worsted base. It preserves the original softness, bounce and warmth of Worsted while adding the machine-washable convenience that makes it practical for everyday garments, baby and children's items, accessories and housewares. Each skein is kettle-dyed in small batches, so colours are subtly multi-tonal. The single-ply structure produces a soft, lofty fabric with crisp stitch definition for cables, texture and colourwork, and it crochets cleanly into substantial fabrics. As a single ply, give it a slight twist as you work. Care: machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat. Alternate skeins to blend hand-dye variation.
