Malabrigo Silky Merino
This delightfully drapery favorite combines 50% silk and 50% merino into a single-ply DK yarn that is absolutely a treat to knit and a joy to wear. The combination is soft, smooth, and itch-free even on the most sensitive skin- absolutely wonderful for garments, scarves, and other next-to-your-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape than a pure merino, and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. The fibers take dye a little differently, adding extra depth to the wide selection of semi-solid, variegated, and watercolor-multi colorways available.
Great for: Accessories, shawls, garments, cables, color-work, textured stitches, lace.
The colors shown on photos are illustrated as reference and can differ on more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process. Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project as skeins may vary from one to the other. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
