Machine washable, gentle cycle, cold water, do not tumble - We liked Mechita so much, we hit it with a shrink ray! Mechita is a fingering-weight version of our beautifully-dyed single-ply superwash yarn. Just as soft and rich as the original, but great for lighter projects! Great for: Shawls, scarves, garments, accessories, baby and kids items, lace, cables, textured stitches.
