Mallo Cotton Slub Weaving Yarn ~ Fir

$ 32.00 USD

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.

Great for Very First Warp and Weave

I used Mallo and Beam yarns for my first weaving and the tea towels, a Gist free pattern, are quite satisfactory. They were easy to warp and the weaving was fun.

Mallo

Mallo is my favorite of the Gist house yarn. It is perfect for weaving on a rigid heddle and makes a soft textured fabric. I have used Mallo in both warp and weft and have also mixed it with other yarns to include 8/2, 3/2 Beam and Cotton/linen Duet with good results.
