Single-ply Malabrigo Worsted is probably the softest wool yarn I have worked with. The lack of twist creates a smooth, slightly fuzzy surface. It’s perfect for this simple, textured rib pattern. Hem, cuffs, and collar are all worked in an easy 2x1 ribbing that flows organically in and out of the main pattern.
