About Malabrigo Sock Yarn

1. Malabrigo are well known for their lovely yarns and fabulous colourways.  This sock yarn is certainly lovely, it's super soft and is spun from 100% superwash merino so will machine wash.  It's a plied wool and is a lightweight fingering weight.  It's perfect for socks, but also great for shawls and lightweight garments.
   
   
   
   Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. To ensure random colour distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.  This is particularly important if you making a shawl or garment rather than socks.
