Malabrigo Susurro: Light, Textured and Luxurious!
Susurro, the word for 'Whisper' in Spanish is the perfect name for this gorgeous yarn. Spun from 50% Mulberry silk, 25% Merino, and 25% Linen, and wound as a single-ply yarn that is soft and light.
By combining these 3 very different fibres, Malabrigo achieves an amazing depth of color, and the fibres have an almost metallic sheen. Well balanced and textured, you can clearly delineate the linen fibres, the silk captures the light and the Merino feels ultra-soft to the touch.
Silky, with a slight halo, and sharp stitch definition. Another MUST-HAVE from one of our favourite brands, Malabrigo.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since bags do not have 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.
