In honor of Malabrigo's 20th anniversary, a new yarn was created: Vientos, a new bulky yarn to defy the winds. 🌬
Vientos (winds in Spanish) is a two plied yarn to represent two decades of Malabrigo's gift of bringing kettle dyed yarn to makers around the world. The two plies of Vientos create an expressive texture that brings depth to its colors and a unique personality to each garment. This yarn is a celebratory symbol of Malabrigo’s two decades.
Vientos is a chunky, two-ply superwash merino, incredibly soft to the touch yet built with structure and balance. The two plies twist gently together, adding durability, definition, and resilience, while keeping the airy, cozy quality that makes bulky yarns so inviting.
The superwash treatment means easy care, and its rich, saturated colors show off beautifully in simple stockinette, sculptural cables, and textured stitches alike.
Vientos holds that sweet spot — lofty but not too light, warm but never heavy.
Vientos is quick to work with and soft against the skin, it’s ideal for accessories, garments, baby and kids’ projects, or anything that calls for comfort and speed.
Whether you’re a beginner discovering the rhythm of your stitches, or an experienced maker exploring new textures, Vientos invites you to play, to create, to feel.
