Malabrigo Cloud Fiber Braids

Crafted from 100% combed merino wool top, it is offered in 5-yard (4.6m) lengths and is machine washable. This fiber minimizes pilling while showcasing Malabrigo’s signature rich colors with unprecedented vibrancy.

Great for: Quick knits, textured stitches, hats, cowls, scarves and outerwear.

Be sure to get enough Fiber to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and braids may vary from bag to bag. braids may vary one from the other even within the same bag. 

When we dye our yarns/ fiber, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn/ fiber is assigned a different dye lot number. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns/fiber.
When we assign a dye lot number the main use is to identify which skeins can be labeled and packed together. After our quality control team checks the skeins, they go to the labeling section and then are put in bags of five or ten (depending on the yarn).
Once the bags get to the yarn stores, most skeins go to different shelves where they can get mixed. The dye lot code is really helpful when you try to find skeins that match.
