100% Merino Wool, 120m (131yds)/100g (3.53oz), Chunky

Product Description

One single strand of pure merino superwash wool is twisted to create Malabrigo Mecha yarn, a chunky weight yarn that knits up on 6-8mm needles. The colourways are, as you would expect from the gorgeous Malabrigo palette, absolutely stunning blends and semi-solids. Made in Peru, Mecha is beautifully soft and the perfect comfort yarn for a cosy sweater or cardigan. Malabrigo yarn is hand-dyed, meaning that each beautiful skein is unique. As a result, there may be variations in colour between skeins of the same shade..

Beautiful color and easy to work with

It is easy to work with, and the color pattern it creates looks beautiful. Plus, it is so soft! I love that the hook doesn't get caught in the yarn. I am working on a vest. It crochets up nicely and it's gorgeous!

Outstanding customer service

Everyone raves about this yarn but two of my skeins were full of little wool “tags” and were almost impossible to wind into balls. Lovecrafts responded quickly to my complaint and sent out two replacement skeins. These are better but still very difficult to wind into balls as they are all tangled up within the skein. I won’t be buying again and don’t recommend,, particularly as it’s an expensive yarn.
