This is it, the original Worsted that made Malabrigo a favorite super soft Merino knitting and crochet yarn!
Made from buttery-soft, single-ply Uruguayan merino wool, Malabrigo Worsted offers beautiful stitch definition and a deliciously squishy texture. It’s kettle-dyed in small artisan batches, producing rich solids, semi-solids, and variegated colorways full of depth and character. This yarn is a cozy favorite for garments, accessories, and even felting projects.
Great for: Accessories, sweaters, scarves, hats, hand-wash-friendly garments, next-to-skin wear, cables, textured stitches, colorwork, and felting.

PLEASE NOTE: As with all hand-dyed yarns, please work while alternating between different skeins of yarn every few rows or rounds to blend color variations from skein to skein to prevent noticeable pooling or stripes. To do this, work a few rows from one skein, then switch to the second for the same number of rows, and continue this pattern throughout your project (we recommend switching every three to five rows).
