Malabrigo Worsted Ravelry Red (611) brings rich red tonal color to a soft, single-ply Merino wool yarn. Think a favorite red barn against a winter sky: cheerful, sturdy-looking color with a much softer disposition. This hank is ready for a cozy hat, a generous scarf, or a sweater that can hold its own in a sea of neutrals.
Malabrigo Worsted has a plump, gently spun feel that makes a simple stitch worth slowing down for. Use Ravelry Red on its own, pair it with cream for classic colorwork, or set it beside charcoal and denim blue for an everyday palette with a little backbone.
