Malabrigo - Mecha

Mecha is a rare single-ply superwash yarn.  Malabrigo's merino wool takes color in the most vivid, rich way, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the multi-layered hues of Mecha! Soft as always, Mecha has a slight thick-and-thin texture, a fantastic loft, and is the perfect size for quick, chunky projects.  Mecha is available in a range of unique “watercolor multi” colorways as well as a rainbow of semi-solid basics. 

Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids items, cables, textured stitches.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each lot is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from lot to lot or even skein to skein.  To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.  Made in Peru.
