Featured: Silky Merino by Malabrigo + New woven scarf pattern!
Featured item: Malabrigo Silky Merino
Malabrigo Silky Merino Yarn is a luxurious blend of silk and merino that is every bit as soft as it looks. The silk adds just enough heaviness to this DK weight single ply to give finished shawls and other pieces maximum drape with just a touch of silky sheen. Silky Merino is a favorite choice for knitted shawls and other accessories, but did you know it’s also great for weaving? Read on to check out our new Block After Block Woven Scarf, an easy and approachable project for weavers of all levels.
