• Cool Comfort: Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, Verano is the ultimate choice for summer tees, tanks, and baby blankets.

The Details: A Refreshing Palette Cleanser

Verano is a delight for knitters who want to maintain their craft through the heat of the summer. It feels cool in the hands as you knit and produces a fabric that is remarkably gentle against the skin. Because it lacks the "spring" of wool, we recommend knitting it at a slightly firmer gauge to ensure your garments hold their shape. Whether you are creating a bright beach cover-up or a soft, heirloom-quality baby gift, Verano provides the vibrant, artisan touch that makes Malabrigo so special, all year round.
