Single-ply Malabrigo Worsted is arguably one of the softest and most luxurious wool yarns available, making it an exceptional choice for your next knitting project. The unique lack of twist in this yarn results in a smooth, slightly fuzzy surface, which adds an inviting texture to your creations. This yarn is particularly well-suited for a simple, textured rib pattern that enhances its natural softness. The hem, cuffs, and collar feature an easy 2x1 ribbing that flows beautifully in and out of the main pattern, providing both style and comfort.
