Please note that there are no dye lots for Malabrigo, even within the same group skeins may vary quite a bit and you may receive skeins from different groups. Photos illustrate the range of colorations within a single colorway. I will do my best to "match" skeins if you order more than one. If you must have a particular skein I can try to accomodate - please make sure you're available through email in case I have to contact you.

Machine wash on gentle cycle with mild detergent like Eucalan in cool to tepid water temp. Do not use detergents with brighteners like Wool Light, Tide, etc. as these degrade the fibers and cause color fade. Never use bleach. To help fix color and remove odors add small amount of white vinegar to rinse water. Avoid excessive agitation as this causes felting and shrinkage. Squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry. Do not dry in dryer.

Please note that there are no dye lots for Malabrigo. Malabrigo typically comes in bag lots of five or ten. Skeins for each lot are hand-selected by Malabrigo dye artisans to be the best match. However, even within the same lot, skeins may vary quite a bit.
