Malabrigo - Verano

When deciding to add a new plant-based yarn to malabrigo's offerings 100% Pima Cotton was the obvious choice. Its softness, strength, and shine are perfect for both warmer weather and those in-between times where you just need a little something. Plus, this new yarn was a fun puzzle to figure out. Different fiber means different techniques and different dyes, but they had to achieve the same bright, intense malabrigo style colors you expect from us. Knitting year round with malabrigo just got a little bit cooler!

Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids items, housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, color-work.

When malabrigo dyes their yarns, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn may vary. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns. After their quality control team checks the skeins, they go to the labeling section and then are put in bags of five or ten (depending on the yarn). Once the bags get to yarn stores, most skeins go to different shelves where they can get mixed.

The colors shown on photos are illustrated as reference, as mentioned above, they can differ on more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.
