Malabrigo Mechita
Mechita is a fingering-weight version of Malabrigo's beautifully-dyed single-ply superwash yarn Mecha. Like all Malabrigo yarns, it is kettle-dyed in small batches by artisan dyers and is full of subtle variation and beauty. Just as vibrant, soft and rich as the original chunky Mecha yarn, but great for lighter projects for warmer climates!
Great for: Shawls, scarves, garments, accessories, baby and kids items, lace, cables, textured stitches.

Note on hand-dyed yarn.
The beauty of hand dyed yarns is undeniable, but please remember every hand dyed skein is unique for better or worse. So please be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project at once since each bag is unique, and skeins will vary from bag to bag sometimes drastically and you have the best chance to get similar skeins if you order at one time. Skeins may vary noticeably from one to the next even within the same batch or bag. And not every skein may have every color in it. The best way to ensure random color distribution is to work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
