Malabrigo’s classic colorways look fresh in Torzal, whose two plies randomly change color throughout the skein.
It’s marled and variegated, evoking handspun yarn, and creates fabric with subtle shifts of color – neither stripy nor streaky.
Along with this lovely new yarn, Malabrigo sent us some patterns to give away with each purchase of Torzal, while supplies last.
Though it’s not self-striping, this soft and colorful sport weight yarn reminds me of Spincycle, and knits up at a similar range of gauges. With that in mind, here are some pattern ideas for Torzal!
