A single ply DK / Sport weight yarn, Susurro is a fusion of three very different fibers including 50% Mulberry silk, 25% Merino, and 25% Linen. The result is a yarn with a marvelous balance due to the sharp contrast between the crude texture of the linen and the silkiness of the Merino and an amazing depth of color, giving the yarn an almost metallic sheen.  Great for: Shawls, scarves, accessories, lace, textured stitches, cables, lightweight garments. Please Note: Malabrigo Susurro is dyed in small batches and ships to us in bags of 10. As with all hand dyes, there can be great color variation from skein to skein even within the same bag.  For this reason, many Malabrigo colors no longer have dye batch lots printed on the label.  When working on projects requiring more than one skein it is always recommended to alternate skeins as you work.  We take special pride and care with hand dyes when packing multiple skein orders to ship more compatible skeins together, whether or not they may have come out of the same bag or have the same dye batch printed on the label.  As each skein is unique, skeins will never be a perfect match and there may be differences between the photos shown and yarn you receive.
