Malabrigo Silky Merino - DK

This delightfully drapey favorite combines 50% silk and 50% merino into a single-ply yarn that is absolutely a treat to knit and a joy to wear. The combination is soft, smooth, and itch-free even on the most sensitive skin. Absolutely wonderful for garments, scarves, and other next-to-your-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape than a pure merino, and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. The fibers take dye a little differently, adding extra depth to the wide selection of semi-solid, variegated, and watercolor-multi colorways available. Colors labeled (Online Only) will arrive to our store in 2-4 weeks and can be shipped or picked up afterwards. (We will notify you if a product is backordered) DK Weight 51% Silk, 49% Merino Single Ply 50 grams/150 yds US 4 - 6  Hook size: 4.5-5.5 mm Hand Wash, cold water Please note: Malabrigo colors sell out fast. If you see something you like, order it ASAP! 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 and even skein to skein. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
