About Malabrigo Noventa

Noventa is a super bulky single-ply twist yarn in 100% superwash merino, with 90 yards in each 125 g skein. Malabrigo places it between its Mecha and Rasta in weight.

It has a slightly irregular texture that, combined with hand dyeing, gives each skein a unique look. It's squishy and soft, and its big stitches make a project come together fast.

It's for knitters who want a cowl or hat in a weekend, and for anyone who likes bold, chunky fabric in saturated color. It's also a good choice for beginners who want to see quick progress.

Best for

  • Chunky cowls and scarves
  • Hats knit in a weekend
  • Quick gifts
  • Beginner projects with big stitches
  • Chunky crochet accessories

Working with it

The listed needles are US 10–13, at 2.25–2.75 stitches per inch. The texture is slightly irregular, so stitches won't look perfectly even, and that's part of the charm. Keep tension relaxed for a soft, squishy fabric. If you need a comparable super bulky in Madelinetosh colors, see A.S.A.P.. Large circular needles help with hats and cowls in the round. Spit splice or felt new skeins together to avoid bulky ends, and weave tails in along the twist of the yarn.

Care

It's superwash merino, so machine washing is generally fine. A cool, gentle cycle and drying flat is kindest to the single ply. Wash saturated colors separately the first time in case of excess dye.
