Cables and textured stitch patterns show up beautifully in the two-ply structure. It also works well for chunky blanket squares and home accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many skeins do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hat typically takes 1–2 skeins. A cowl takes 2–3 skeins. A simple adult sweater in bulky weight will typically need 6–9 skeins depending on size. Always check your pattern for the specific yardage required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it really machine washable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the superwash treatment allows machine washing on a cold delicate cycle. Laying flat to dry is strongly recommended over tumble drying, which can cause felting even in superwash yarns at high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does two-ply mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two-ply yarn is made from two individual strands of spun fibre twisted together. Compared to a single-ply yarn of the same weight, a two-ply is more durable, holds its shape better, and has a more consistent stitch definition. It is also less prone to splitting under the needle. For Vientos specifically, the two plies also create a subtle textural depth in the colour that single-ply skeins don't produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Vicennial?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVicennial is a special colourway created by Malabrigo to mark their twentieth anniversary — vicennial means relating to a twenty-year period.
