Malabrigo Mechita Fingering Hand Dyed Yarn : Diana

Mechita in 'Diana' is a stunning fingering-weight, hand-dyed yarn from Malabrigo. This single-ply superwash merino wool is just the ticket for creating beautiful, lightweight projects with a touch of luxury.

We adore Mechita for its incredible softness and the way the hand-dyed colours blend and shift. The 'Diana' colourway offers a rich and complex palette, full of depth and character that will bring your creations to life.

Ideal for:

• Delicate shawls and scarves
• Lightweight garments
• Cosy accessories
• Baby and children's knits
• Lace work
• Cables and textured stitches that deserve to be shown off

Each skein of Mechita is a work of art, lovingly hand-dyed to create unique variations. Because of this, it's ever so important to buy enough yarn for your project in one go. Each bag will contain a different dye lot, and skeins may vary slightly, even within the same bag. This is all part of its charm, creating a truly individual piece.

For a lovely, random colour distribution, we recommend working from two balls of yarn at the same time, alternating a few rows from each skein. This will help to even out any slight differences and give your finished project a cohesive look.
