This lovely yarn is soft and light, making it the perfect yarn for autumn and spring knits or when you need to throw on a cardi or shawl in winter or summer. Malabrigo Susurro is made from 50% mulberry silk, 25% Uruguayan merino, and 25% linen wound as a single ply into a DK/Sport weight yarn.

The combination of these three very different fibres results in an amazing depth of colour, giving the yarn an almost metallic sheen. It has a marvelous balance due to the sharp contrast between the texture of the linen and the silkiness of the merino and the silk. It also has a wonderful drape making it perfect for shawls and accessories, garments with plenty of ease and cardigans and jumpers to throw on over your summer dresses.

Susurro is made with Uruguayan Merino wool. Uruguay has one of the biggest wool supplies in the world and is of an extremely high quality, especially in regards to softness. Malabrigo wool is produced by Uruguayan farms that allow their free-range sheep through the hills and are herded by actual old-style shepherds. The controversial practice of mulesing does not exist in Uruguay.
