Malabrigo

Choose Malabrigo yarn for colour, fibre and texture

Malabrigo is especially valued for rich colourways created in small dye batches. Tonal shades can add subtle depth to simple stitch patterns, while variegated colours create movement across the fabric. Because hand-dyed skeins are individual, compare all skeins in good light before starting and alternate them every few rows when a more even colour distribution is preferred.

Select the base yarn according to the project’s structure and use. Consider fibre composition, yarn weight, metreage and care requirements alongside softness. A washed tension swatch shows how the colour, drape and stitch definition will behave in the finished piece. For garments, use the pattern’s finished measurements and your measured tension to calculate quantity, allowing a sensible margin for sleeves, length adjustments and swatching.
