This two-ply DK \/ Sport yarn is made from 100% Superwash Merino wool, with multiple shades twisting together throughout each strand to create depth, movement, and beautiful color variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than dyeing the finished yarn, Malabrigo dyes the fiber before spinning. Two individually dyed plies are then twisted together, allowing the colors to shift and interact along the length of the yarn. The effect has some of the organic character of handspun while maintaining the consistency and softness you expect from Malabrigo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorzal's construction makes even simple stitches visually interesting while giving cables, ribbing, and other textured patterns added dimension. With 160 yards in each 50-gram skein, it works beautifully for lightweight sweaters, cardigans, hats, cowls, shawls, and accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with Malabrigo's other hand-dyed yarns, variation between skeins is part of its character. For larger projects, purchasing enough yarn at once and alternating skeins can help distribute those variations throughout your finished fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFiber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Superwash Merino Wool\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e DK \/ Sport\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Ply\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160 Yards \/ 146 Meters\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eSkein Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 g \/ 1.76 oz\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Knitting Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23–26 stitches = 4 inches \/ 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Needles:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 3–7 \/ 3.25–4.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Hook:\u003c\/strong\u003e US E-4–G-6 \/ 3.5–4.25 mm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine Wash Cold; Dry Flat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Love It at A Show of Hands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorzal takes the incredible color Malabrigo is known for and makes the yarn's construction part of the story. We especially love how the two plies interact—you get little shifts and surprises in the color without needing a complicated stitch pattern to make the fabric interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also a great choice when you want a handspun-inspired look with the predictability and softness of a commercially spun Merino.
