Malabrigo Silky Merino Black Knitting Yarn

Knitting yarn. Malabrigo Silky Merino is a soft yarn that combines 51% silk and 49% merino wool in a single‑ply, smooth structure with an elegant drape. The blend of silk and merino creates a soft, gentle surface suitable even for sensitive skin, while the silk adds a subtle sheen and extra weight that gives finished pieces a beautiful, fluid fall.

Each skein is hand‑dyed in small batches, giving your project a unique, artisanal character. It is recommended to purchase enough yarn for the entire project, as dye lots vary and skeins may differ from one another. Slight variations may also occur within the same batch. For even colour distribution, work alternately with two skeins, switching every few rows.

The fibres absorb dye in varying ways, creating depth and richness of colour that stands out in delicate textures, detailed stitch patterns, and smooth fabric surfaces.
