Malabrigo Worsted is the yarn that introduced many knitters to the brand, and it remains one of the most loved hand-dyed yarns available. 100% merino wool, not superwash treated, hand-dyed in the rich, complex colourways that are Malabrigo's signature: colours with depth and variation that shift subtly as you knit. The single-ply construction is exceptionally soft and produces a fabric with beautiful drape. The single ply nature means that it benefits from gentle care: hand wash and dry flat, and be aware that it's more delicate nature may not wear well for high-friction uses. It will felt if agitated in hot water, but treated well it's a deeply rewarding yarn to work with and wear. Buy from the same dyelot for larger projects.
bold, dramatic, and happiest in the spotlight
Worsted 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.
