My favorite yarn!
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!

Product Description
Soft and cozy, Malabrigo Mecha is 100% superwash wool. Mecha means "single ply" in Uruguayan Spanish and this bulky weight yarn is one strand of gently twisted wool with a light halo and oodles of color. Mecha is saturated in Malabrigo's signature deep, rich tones. Imagine this sumptuous, squishy wool worked up into a favorite sweater or stunning accessories, all so easy to care for!
Please note: Malabrigo Mecha is produced in dye lots of 10. Any order for more than 10 hanks will be of mixed dye lots. Some colors do not have any dye lots..
Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations in colors that are natural and may vary from skein to skein. There may be differences between pictures shown and the yarn you receive. To ensure the best results for your project:
- Buy enough yarn for your entire project at one time.
- When using hand-dyed yarn in your project work two rows from one skein and two rows from another skein to give an overall blended effect.

5 Stars
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!
Cute yarn for hats
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.

So hard to tell yarn color from a monitor. I love the yarn but returned it due to problematic color.
Soft and high-quality yarn
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.
Perfect for quick, stylish knits
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.
Perfect for custom projects
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.

I just finished my project last evening, and it turned out beautiful. I had purchased 10 hanks of Malabrigo Mecha and spent about three weeks in crochet heaven. There were a few knots, but they were done correctly....small, and won't come undone. The yarn is like silk through my fingers. This is the third project I have made like this one with this yarn, and they all turned out fantastic. Didn't even have to block it. I would buy this yarn again in a second.

Loved working with Mecha. Bouncy, so soft, excellent stitch definition, love the single-ply and of course Malabrigos colorways. Little bit of a pain to wind a ball, but well worth it. Needed 3 skeins for 2 hats but used a “yarn-eater” stitch
Treated wool
This is a beautiful color, however it is not good for felting. The description online does not say it has been treated to be a washable wool. I need all the info to make an informed purchase!!!
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that your Malabrigo Mecha did not work as expected for your felting project. I understand how disappointing that can be when you have a specific outcome in mind. Malabrigo Mecha is made from 100% superwash wool, which means it has been treated to be machine washable and, as a result, is not suitable for felting. This information is included in the product description on our website, though I understand this detail can be easy to miss. If you ever have questions about selecting the right yarn or need guidance for a specific technique, please feel free to reach out to us at customerservice@yarn.com. I’d be more than happy to help you find the best option for your needs. Best wishes, Brianna Yarn.com | WEBS www.yarn.com customerservice@yarn.com 1.800.367.9327
