Description

Malabrigo Silky Merino – Diana is a gorgeous DK weight/8 ply blend of soft silk and merino. The combination is soft, smooth, and itch-free even on the most sensitive skin- absolutely wonderful for garments, scarves, and other next-to-your-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape than a pure merino, and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. The fibers take dye a little differently, adding extra depth to the wide selection of semi-solid, variegated, and watercolour-multi colourways available. We carry many yarns from Malabrigo and you can see them all Here!

Great for: Accessories, shawls, garments, cables, color-work, textured stitches, lace.

Gauge: 22.0 to 24.0 sts = 4 inches

Needle Size: US 4 – 6 or 3.5 – 4mm

Hook Size: US 7 to I-9 or 4.5-5.5 mm

Be sure to get enough Malabrigo Silky Merino – Diana to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag and in some cases the skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random colour distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.

Craft Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag!  The other useful website is Yarnsub –  great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites.
