Washted

We received more colours of Malabrigo Washted.

English Rose

Arco Baleno

Candombe

Arapey

A superwash version of the classic Worsted Merino base. While remaining true to the original softness of worsted, we ‘washed it’ so you can too, allowing more freedom and ease of care. Having the same weight as Worsted, it can be used interchangeably for any projects you may have planned for Worsted. Like all our yarns, it is kettle-dyed in small batches by our artisan dyers and is full of subtle variation and beauty. 

Diana is going to knit the Traveler Shawl in Arco Iris. The skeins are slightly different but that adds to the beauty of Malabrigo Yarns. I could spend all day unwinding every skein we have and I will never find 5 that match so I grabbed 5 skeins from the shelf and that’s what we’re going with.

When we dye our 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 

Diana will be knitting the shawl on 4.5mm needles and it will work out to be the larger size.

I’m casting off the first half of my shawl - the left side of the shawl that Andrea is holding. Then I need to pick up stitches and knit the second half. 

I highly recommend the pattern. It’s a fun knit. Take a look at some of the shawls on Ravelry. You can knit each half in different colours or stripe yarns that you have in your stash. You can knit the shawl in a solid colour. Get creative and have fun.

Now back to the cast off.
