Mallo Cotton Slub Weaving Yarn ~ Butter

Add to your order

 

Plain weave is anything but plain when woven in Mallo. The thick-and-thin nature of this cotton slub creates an elegant, delicate texture, even in the simplest of weaves. Slightly thicker than many weaving yarns, Mallo weaves up quickly on both rigid heddle and multi-shaft looms. Sturdy, soft, and absorbent, Mallo is perfect for towels, napkins, and washcloths as well as lightweight blankets, scarves, and shawls.  

  • 8oz cones / 750 yds
  • Size: similar to 3/2; 1,500 yds per pound.
  • Suggested EPI: 8-16 for rigid heddle and multi-shaft looms.
  • Care: Machine wash and dry. 
  • Made in the USA. Learn more about our sourcing here.

Fabulous yarn!

I will be ordering more of this. I used it as weft and it really made the towel exciting.

Heavier fiber than anticipated

I prefer a scarf /shawl with nice drape. While Mallo may be great for dish towels or placemats, for me the results even at 12 EPI were simply too stiff.

Fabulous yarn!

I love the thick & thin nature of Mallo cotton yarn and use it as warp and weft on my rigid heddle loom. The colors posted are true. At 750 yards per 8 oz cone, it's very affordable. You can't go wrong using Gist yarn...well you can go wrong, but it won't be that fault of the yarn!
