Malabrigo Caprino 669 Carnival

Carnival is colour 669 of Malabrigo Caprino.

Caprino blends merino with 20% cashmere for a sport weight yarn that's exceptionally soft against the skin, kettle-dyed in Malabrigo's signature colours.

• Fiber: 80% merino wool, 20% cashmere
• Weight: Sport (2)
• Skein: 164 yds (150 m) / 50 g
• Needles: US 4–6 (3.5–4 mm)
• Gauge: 24 sts = 4" (10 cm) in stockinette
• Crochet hook: E–G (3.5–4.5 mm)
• Care: Hand wash cold; lay flat to dry

Good for: cowls, hats, mitts, baby things and anything worn close to the face.

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.
