Mechita is a fingering-weight version of Malabrigo’s beautifully-dyed single-ply superwash yarn. Just as soft and rich as the original, but great for lighter projects.
Great for shawls, scarves, garments, accessories, baby and kid items, lace, cables, and textured stitches.
Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. The skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
