Malabrigo Rasta Yarn 100g

At Malabrigo, yarns are named predominantly in Spanish, the native language of Uruguay. The company often uses terms in Spanish to indicate the thickness of the yarn, as seen in examples such as Finito, Mechita, Mecha, and Rasta.

In Spanish, 'Rasta' translates to 'dreadlock,' appropriately chosen for a yarn with a notably thick texture, exemplified by our Rasta yarn. This single-ply, lightly fulled yarn boasts impressive proportions, allowing crafters to create super-cozy accessories in just hours. The premium Uruguayan merino used in Rasta maintains its signature softness. The Rasta collection offers a variety of exclusive 'watercolor multi' colorways and a rainbow of semi-solid basics. Incredibly squishy, Rasta is the perfect yarn when desiring the ultimate in warmth (or the ultimate in speed!). Explore the Rasta collection for your next knitting masterpiece.

Great for: Quick knits, textured stitches, hats, cowls, scarves, outerwear.

Note: 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. 

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