Soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply yarn is a workhorse! The plies help resist pilling, and the washability makes it fantastic for frequently worn garments, housewares, and children's and baby clothes.

Per Malabrigo: be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.

The same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn may vary. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle or extremely noticeable, especially on variegated yarns. After the quality control team checks the skeins, they go to the labeling section and then are put in bags of five or ten (depending on the yarn).

The colors shown in the photos are illustrated as a reference, as mentioned above, they can differ on more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.
