Description Malabrigo Mechita is the fingering-weight version of Malabrigo’s beloved single-ply superwash merino yarn. It has the same rich color, soft feel, and beautiful drape as Mecha, but in a lighter weight that works well for shawls, garments, socks, and detailed stitch patterns. Each skein is kettle-dyed by hand, creating the depth of color Malabrigo is known for. Because of the hand-dyed process, skeins can vary slightly even within the same dye lot. For best results, alternate skeins every few rows when working larger projects. Mechita is soft enough for next-to-skin wear and strong enough for everyday pieces, making it a favorite for knitters and crocheters who love expressive color and natural fiber. Fiber: 100% Superwash Merino Wool Weight: Fingering Yardage: approx. 420 yards / 100 g Gauge: 26–30 sts = 4″ Needle size: US 1–3 / 2.25–3.25 mm Great for shawls, scarves, garments, socks, baby items, lace, cables, and textured stitches. Because Malabrigo yarns are hand-dyed, skeins will vary slightly. For best results, alternate skeins when working larger projects.
