Single-ply Malabrigo Worsted is probably the softest
wool yarn I have worked with. The lack of twist creates
a smooth, slightly fuzzy surface. It’s perfect for this
simple, textured rib pattern. Hem, cuffs, and collar are all
worked in an easy 2x1 ribbing that flows organically in
and out of the main pattern.
