Finito, Mechita, Mecha, and Rasta are examples of this.\u003cbr\u003eRasta in Spanish means “dreadlock”, and is also how they refer in Spanish to a very thick cord like our yarn. A lightly-fulled single-ply yarn of magnum proportions! Whip out a super-cozy accessory in just hours with this super-sized delight of a yarn. Their premium Uruguayan merino is just as soft as ever, and Rasta comes in a range of their unique “watercolor multi” colorways as well as a rainbow of semi-solid basics. Unbelievably squishy, this is the yarn to turn to when you want the ultimate in warmth (or the ultimate in speed!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreat for: \u003c\/strong\u003eQuick knits, textured stitches, hats, cowls, scarves, outerwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBe sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe colors shown on photos are illustrated as reference, as mentioned above, they can differ on more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malabrigo Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619984920738,"sku":null,"price":24.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5594\/5122\/files\/IMG_5680_a409ea98-dd8a-4ed2-bd0a-46b9fef3b1b2.heic?v=1771971975","url":"https:\/\/fiberandthreadsneedlecrafts.com\/products\/malabrigo-rasta-100-merino-olive-056","provider":"Fiber \u0026 Threads Needlecrafts llc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
