Even though Malabrigo Rasta is a very thick and super chunky weight yarn, it feels lighter than a cloud! Rasta is a single-ply yarn that knits and crochets up quickly, making it the perfect yarn for beginners who want something a little more luxurious or a quick knit project! Available in a range of shades from semi-solids to variegated hues and watercolor multis makes us feel like a kid in a candy shop - the kettle-dye method always seems to grab our attention! It's also one of the softest yarns we've ever felt!
Malabrigo contributes a minimum of 5% of their gross profit from the sale of 873 - Stitch Red to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in support of The Heart Truth® and women's heart health education and research.
PLEASE NOTE: This yarn is dyed in lots of five skeins only - we are happy to visually match the hanks for consistency should you need more than five skeins for a project.
