Malabrigo Vientos - Superwash Merino

Malabrigo Vientos has that rare combination of softness and structure that makes finished projects feel polished without losing their cozy soul. The blend of merino wool and twist gives it bounce, durability, and beautiful stitch definition, while the hand-dyed colors bring the drama in the best possible way.

What makes Vientos different from other Malabrigo yarns? Vientos is plied instead of a single-ply, giving it more structure, durability, and crisp stitch definition. Cables and textured stitches really stand out here.

Is it soft? Very. The merino keeps it soft enough for garments and accessories worn close to the skin. The firm twist of the loose plies gives this yarn a lot of bounce and character.

What projects work well with Vientos? Sweaters, hats, textured shawls, mittens, and everyday accessories that need warmth without feeling delicate.

Does it work well for cables and texture? Absolutely. Due to its bulky weight, textured stitches really pop despite the business of the amazing colors.
