Malabrigo Arroyo 429 Cape Cod Gray

Cape Cod Gray is colour 429 of Malabrigo Arroyo.

Arroyo is Malabrigo's sport weight superwash merino: a round, plied yarn with crisp stitch definition, kettle-dyed in Uruguay and machine washable, so it works as well for baby things as for a lightweight sweater.

• Fiber: 100% superwash merino wool
• Weight: Sport (2)
• Skein: 335 yds (306 m) / 100 g
• Needles: US 4–6 (3.5–4 mm)
• Gauge: 22 sts = 4" (10 cm) in stockinette
• Crochet hook: E–G (3.5–4.5 mm)
• Care: Machine wash gentle, cold; lay flat to dry; do not tumble dry

Good for: lightweight sweaters, baby and children's things, shawls, socks and colourwork.

Every skein is hand-dyed, so colour shifts a little from skein to skein and lot to lot. Buy enough for the whole project, and on larger pieces alternate two skeins every few rows.
