Malabrigo’s beloved superwash merino Sock yarn has been transformed! Metamorphosis Sock is the same yarn but has been hand-dyed in gradient colorways, which shift slowly from one shade to the next. This makes subtle stripes in the finished garment.
Because the colors never repeat within a skein, Metamorphosis Sock is a great choice for one skein shawls like these:
- “Pogona,” by Stephen West – stockinette and reverse stockinette shawl (1 skein Metamorphosis Sock will make the small size)
- “Hitchhiker,” by Martina Behm – garter stitch shawl with picot edge
- “Interlude,” by Janina Kallio – mesh lace shawl
Self-striping or gradient yarns are often paired with solid shades, to frame them in stripes or intarsia patterns:
- “Spiral Splash Socks,” by Stephen West – slip stitch striped socks
- “Spectra,” by Stephen West – intarsia scarf
- “ZickZack Scarf,” by Christy Kamm – The one shown below was knit by our friend Winnie using another self-striping yarn, Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball Crazy, and a semisolid shade of Malabrigo Ultimate Sock
Here are some color combinations, pairing Malabrigo Metamorphosis Sock with Malabrigo Ultimate Sock.
Look for them both in the fingering weight section here at the shop, and in our new online store!
