Malabrigo Worsted Black Forest (179) blends near-black charcoal with deep gray tonal shading for a rich, understated neutral. Like a favorite wool coat, this color gets along with just about everything. Let it anchor a colorwork project, frame brighter shades, or stand on its own in a cozy hat or sweater.
This hand-dyed, single-ply yarn feels wonderfully soft against the skin. Try it for hats, cowls, scarves, textured sweaters, and felted projects.
