Rasta

We name most of our yarns in Spanish (our native language here in Uruguay) and many of them with terms referring to their thickness. Finito, Mechita, Mecha, and Rasta are examples of this.
Rasta in Spanish means “dreadlock”, and is also how we 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. Our premium Uruguayan merino is just as soft as ever, and Rasta comes in a range of our 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!)

Great for: Quick knits, textured stitches, hats, cowls, scarves, outerwear.

**No Dye Lots. Be 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. Individual skeins are not labeled as to which bag they were in- there are no dye lots on the skeins. 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. 

We will always do our best to pick skeins that match, but for larger projects, please come in to see the skeins yourself, or email the shop to inquire about having us order the amount you need from Malabrigo.

Photos used are provided by Malabrigo and, due to the hand dyed nature of the yarn, are often slightly different than the actual colors.  Coming in to see this beautiful yarn in person is always your best bet to get what you want!
