What makes Malabrigo Yarn Washted different from other wool yarns?

Malabrigo Yarn Washted stands out because it's a single-ply, hand-dyed 100% superwash merino wool yarn, renowned for its incredible softness and vibrant, kettle-dyed colors. Its superwash treatment means it's easier to care for, so you can machine-wash your finished projects without worry. The single-ply construction gives a beautiful stitch definition, making your garments and accessories look stunning and professionally crafted.

Is Malabrigo Washted yarn suitable for sensitive skin or next-to-skin projects?

Absolutely! Malabrigo Washted is made from superwash merino wool, which is one of the softest natural fibers available. It's designed to be extra gentle on your skin, making it a great choice for hats, scarves, baby clothes, and other items that you'll wear close to your body. Many customers love it for its comfort and report no itchiness, even for those with sensitive skin.

How should I care for garments made with Malabrigo Yarn Washted?

Thanks to the superwash finish, Malabrigo Washted is much easier to care for than traditional wool yarns. You can machine-wash your pieces on a gentle, cold cycle, but it's always best to lay your items flat to dry to maintain their shape and beauty. Avoid hot water and tumble drying to preserve the amazing color and softness of your hand-dyed wool yarn.

How do I choose the right colorway for my project with Malabrigo Washted?

Malabrigo Washted comes in a wide range of stunning, hand-dyed colorways—each skein is unique! For larger projects, we recommend buying enough yarn at once and alternating skeins every few rows to blend any color variations beautifully. If you're unsure which colorway to pick, think about your wardrobe favorites or ask us for recommendations for your specific project. The vibrant, kettle-dyed colors look amazing on accessories and garments alike!

What types of projects work best with Malabrigo Washted yarn?

Malabrigo Washted is a versatile worsted weight wool yarn perfect for cozy garments and accessories. It's especially popular for hats, scarves, cardigans, cowls, and even baby items. With 210 yards per 100g skein and excellent stitch definition, your stitches will pop—whether you're knitting cables, lace, or simple stockinette. The softness and vibrant colorways make every project feel special.

I got this yarn in the Pearl Ten color (deep purple). It is a beautiful yarn that knits wonderfully and is very soft. I truly look forward to knitting with it each day. It works great with cabling patterns.
