Washted is Malabrigo's hand-dyed single-ply superwash merino in worsted weight: combining the rich, complex colour and exceptional softness the brand is known. Single-ply construction gives it a softness and drape that plied yarns at this weight can't quite match, and the hand-dyeing produces depth and variation that photographs beautifully and knits up even better. A generous 192m at 100g. Buy from the same dyelot for larger projects. For anyone who wants Malabrigo's colour and quality. While this yarn is considered superwash, the light spinning of it means that it should still be treated delicately: use cold water and a very gentle cycle for best results.
bold, dramatic, and happiest in the spotlight
Washted is a yarn that we would categorize as a diva. Some yarns are happy to support the pattern. This one prefers to be the star. Diva yarns bring luxurious fibres, bold colours, and textures that practically demand attention: perfect when you want your project to make an entrance.
Divas shine brightest when they’re given room to perform. Simple stitches and minimal colourwork let their character take the spotlight. They can handle more complicated patterns but rarely need them. Swatch carefully and follow laundering instructions to keep your star in top form.
