Rasta in Spanish means “dreadlock”, and is also in Spanish a very thick cord. A lightly-fulled single-ply yarn of magnum proportions! Whip out a super-cozy accessory in just hours with this super-sized delight of a yarn. This Uruguayan merino is just as soft as ever, and Rasta comes in a range of unique “watercolor multi” colourways as well as a rainbow of semi-solid basics. Unbelievably squishy, this is the yarn to turn to when you want the ultimate in warmth (or the ultimate in speed!) Rasta is single ply slightly felted with a twist
Great for quick knits, textured stitches, hats, cowls, scarves, outerwear.
When the yarns are dyed, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn may vary. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns.
