A new bulky yarn to defy the winds (Vientos means winds in Spanish) Its two plies create an expressive texture that brings depth to its colors and a unique personality to each garment. A celebratory symbol of Malabrigo’s two decades. The colors are vibrant - we love creating a fade using shades that shift from one skein to the next; each is uniquely hand dyed. When making a larger item, you'll want to alternate skeins for your desired result. 100% Super wash Merino Wool; though it is recommended that you hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.
