Knitters are always asking us for another light yarn for use in summer, and we have risen to the challenge. We have finally given in to the impulse to start dyeing plant fibers! This was no small endeavor, since the dyeing process for plant-based fibers—cotton, flax and linen—is vastly different than that of animal-based fibers like merino, alpaca and silk. Since we want all of our yarns to have the classic bright, intense “malabrigo style,” we had to make a lot of little tweaks along the way. We hope you love the way the new colors turned out as much as you love our original colors.
A lot of care has gone into the making of this yarn and the designing of the beautiful patterns we present here. We hope you enjoy knitting up this light, noble fiber, and that it helps get you ready for summer.
