Description
This buttery yarn is spun from Malabrigo’s luxurious merino and treated to make it machine washable for easy care. Don’t be fooled by the name- while it’s certainly a treat for the feet, this delightful yarn is also a favorite for shawls, scarves and garments!
Please note that while this is called sock yarn, there is no nylon content so there may be early wear and tear in the heels.

Note: I do my best to accurately show the true color but this can vary due to screen and monitor settings. This yarn is hand-dyed and due to the nature of speckling, skeins may vary. We recommend alternating skeins if working on a larger project.
Malabrigo is a family-owned yarn company located in Uruguay. Their wool is 100% produced by Uruguayan farms that allow their free-range sheep to wander through the hills and are herded by old-style shepherds. They do not participate in the controversial practice of mulesing and sheep are sheared pre-lambing. They are committed to achieving the highest standards of ethical sheep husbandry. They also own and operate a second mill based in Peru.
