Malabrigo Mecha 333 Phoebe

Phoebe is colour 333 of Malabrigo Mecha.

Mecha is Malabrigo's bulky superwash merino: a gently twisted single with a soft halo, kettle-dyed in Uruguay. It knits up quickly and goes in the washing machine, so it's a good pick for everyday hats, mitts and sweaters.

• Fiber: 100% superwash merino wool
• Weight: Bulky (5)
• Skein: 130 yds (120 m) / 100 g
• Needles: US 10–11 (6–8 mm)
• Gauge: 11–13 sts = 4" (10 cm) in stockinette
• Crochet hook: J–L (6–8 mm)
• Care: Machine wash gentle, cold; lay flat to dry; do not tumble dry

Good for: hats, mitts, cowls, quick sweaters and children's things.

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.
