Malabrigo Mechita Fingering Hand Dyed Yarn : Whales Road

Mechita is a delightful fingering-weight yarn, hand-dyed in single ply super-wash merino. It's just perfect for those lighter, more delicate crafting projects that you've been dreaming of. This shade, "Whales Road," brings the evocative colours of the ocean right to your needles. The deep blues and greys will create a stunning finished piece.

We think you'll adore working with Mechita. The single ply construction gives excellent stitch definition, which makes it ideal for showing off those intricate patterns.

What's it good for?

• Shawls
• Scarves
• Garments
• Accessories
• Baby and kids items
• Lace work
• Cables
• Textured stitches

Important things to remember about hand-dyed yarn: Because each bag is a different dye lot, it’s important to purchase enough yarn to complete your project. Skeins can also vary from bag to bag, and even within the same bag! To get a beautifully random colour distribution, we recommend working from two balls of yarn at the same time, alternating a few rows from each ball. This will help to even out any slight variations in colour and give your finished project a cohesive look.
