I use it for items worn around the face such as balaclavas, ear warmers, and hats. I undersize the needle, producing a more wind resistant knit. The Mecha does not get stiff when using a needle one size smaller. It has a good twist which yields fast knits for colorwork or 'fancier' stitch patterns.
Malabrigo has some of the most vibrant colorways, and Mecha has a buttery feel and slight gloss that makes the colors pop even more. It’s squashy but with a wonderful drape and great warmth - perfect for outerwear garments that will keep you warm but won’t make you itch!
Mecha is my favorite yarn! I like the weight and feel of the yarn. I'm using it for a blanket and a scarf. Great!
So hard to tell yarn color from a monitor. I love the yarn but returned it due to problematic color.
I'm using it for hats. I had some I got in a giant bag of yarn at Goodwill, so I tried making a hat for a friend. She did. It’s so cute.
I have been a Malabrigo fan for a long time. I love the depth of colors and the softness. I am making a lap throw. It is very easy to work with. As advised, I am switching between skeins every couple of rows.
Malabrigo Mecha and Viento are my favorite yarns to work with. I like the feel, ease to work with, and how well it wears. I use it for a shawl and a blanket. Now that it is fall in the mountains, they will be used daily. It is indeed.
I'm currently knitting a cardigan sweater. The yarn feels wonderfully soft and the color is fabulous! This yarn is of very fine quality and is a joy to knit with.
Lovely soft yarn, a tiny bit splitty, but as long as you're careful it works up well.
It is super easy to knit and has fabulous quality. I am making my own pattern sweater for a 10-year-old, all in a knit no purl.
