Malabrigo Mechita Fingering Hand Dyed Yarn : Hojas

Mechita in 'Hojas' is a truly stunning fingering-weight yarn from Malabrigo. Hand-dyed with care, this single-ply superwash merino wool is just perfect for those lighter, more delicate projects you've been dreaming of. The 'Hojas' colourway brings to mind the shifting light through autumn leaves, with gorgeous greens and golds blending seamlessly.

We absolutely adore the way this yarn feels – incredibly soft and gentle against the skin. It's a joy to work with, whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out on your crafting journey.

What's it good for?

• Shawls
• Scarves
• Lightweight garments
• Delicate accessories
• Baby and children's items
• Lace work
• Cables
• Textured stitches

Each skein of Mechita is a little work of art, thanks to the hand-dyeing process. That's what makes it so special! But, do bear in mind that dye lots can vary between bags, and even within the same bag, skeins can differ slightly. To ensure a lovely, random distribution of colour in your project, we suggest working from two balls at once, alternating a few rows from each.
