Malabrigo Washted is a beautifully soft and silky feeling merino wool. Malabrigo’s colours are always spectacular, and Washted is no different. Coming in a range of bright, bold and more subtle colourways, there’s something here for everyone. 

Being a worsted weight means this yarn would be a suitable option for transitional pieces such as jumpers and cardigans.

Malabrigo is a family-owned company started by two brothers in law in their kitchen and with their dye pots. 

Based in Uruguay, Malabrigo specialise in hand-dyed yarns and they also produce their own unique bases. Some of the fleece used comes from their own flock of merino sheep who are grazed near their headquarters in Montevideo. The rest is sourced from Uruguayan farms where sheep are allowed to graze free-range through the hills and are herded by ranchers. Please also note that mulesing is not practiced in Uruguay. 

In 2017 Malabrigo started using renewable wood pellets as their main source of energy.

Pattern Inspiration

Please note, each skein of Malabrigo’s hand dyed yarns is unique. Colours can vary even within dye lots and quite dramatically between dye lots. To insure random colour distribution in big projects we recommend working from two skeins at once, alternating every few rows.
