Malabrigo Mechita 895 Dried Orange

Malabrigo liked Mecha so much, they hit it with a shrink ray! 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 kids items, lace, cables, 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. In the tagged (*) colors, 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.Weight: Fingering (14 wpi) Yardage: 420 yards (384 meters)Unit weight: 100 grams (3.53 ounces)Gauge: 26.0 to 30.0 sts = 4 inchesNeedle size: US 1 - 2 or 2.25 - 2.75mmFibers: 100% Wool - MerinoTexture: singleMachine wash? yesAttributesCare: Dry Flat, Machine WashColor: Semi-solid, Speckled, Tonal, VariegatedDye: Hand-dyedPly: Single-plyPut up: Winding requiredYarn originDyed: UruguayMilled: PeruSource of fiber: PeruPattern books for this yarn:Book 20: Mechita & Sock - Modern Accessory StyleCrochet Booklet: Sail AwayGet inspired by all the great projects completed in this yarn on RavelryCheck out suggested patterns for this yarn on Ravelry
