Malabrigo Mechita Fingering Hand Dyed Yarn : Frank Ochre

Mechita is a truly gorgeous fingering-weight yarn, hand-dyed to perfection in single plies. Its incredible softness makes it an absolute dream to work with for all your lighter-weight projects. We think you'll adore the depth of colour and the subtle variations that only hand-dyeing can achieve. This colourway, Frank Ochre, is a warm, earthy delight!

What's Mechita perfect for?

The possibilities are truly endless with Mechita. We reckon it's brilliant for:

• Shawls and scarves that drape beautifully
• Delicate garments and accessories
• Adorable baby and children's items
• Intricate lace work
• Cables that pop with definition
• Textured stitches that sing

Because each batch is hand-dyed with love, do bear in mind that dye lots can vary. To make sure you've got a consistent colour throughout your project, it's always best to grab enough skeins in one go. Also, even within the same bag, you might spot slight differences between skeins, which is all part of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn! If you're after a really random distribution of colour, try working with two balls at once, alternating a few rows from each.
