Description

Product information "Manos del Uruguay Cabrito hand-dyed - 21871 Zing"

Manos del Uruguay Cabrito Hand dyed is a fluffy plied yarn made from mohair and polyamide. Hand-dyeing creates subtle shifts in colour.

Does mohair feel scratchy?

Before washing, you may notice the feel of mohair against your skin; some knitters say that pre-washing Cabrito with shampoo makes it softer and stops it feeling scratchy.

Can it be knitted on its own or with another yarn?

Both are possible: Cabrito creates a sheer knitted fabric when used on its own, while pairing it with a smooth yarn adds a soft halo and extra warmth. When combined with another yarn, beautiful blue-green colour shifts may appear in the finished fabric.

Which needles should I use?

Start with 3.5–4 mm circular needles. Check the yarn weight, tension and needle size given in the pattern against the yarn's specifications; make a tension square and try a different needle size if the tension does not match.

Before you start, wind the yarn into a ball, then make a tension square and hand-wash it in cold water; dry flat. If you need a second yarn to pair with Cabrito, take a look at other Manos del Uruguay yarns.
