When our Beans decided to create The Tortured Stitchers Department MAL, Elizabeth, one of JBW's resident Swifties, immediately cast on so she could cuddle up with her sweater by the album release. Fun fact: this is only the second item she's ever knit and we are so impressed with her FO! And what better way to show off her hard work than with a walk down Cornelia Street?
She chose the chunky strands of Malabrigo Mecha to get the singly ply look of the inspiration cardigan. Opting for a pack of Single Lot dyed Mecha, Elizabeth's choice closely resembles color 334, Peggy.

Malabrigo Mecha Yarn
In Uruguayan Spanish, Mecha means single ply, and in yarn language, Malabrigo means amazing, hehe! Knitting and crocheting with Malabrigo Mecha's 130 yards of ultra-soft, sumptuous strings makes us want to sing! The single-ply nature lends itself to be used in felting projects, so while this yarn is machine-washable, we recommend hand-washing unless you're into the felted look, of course!
Bulky (12-15 sts/4 in), Merino Wool, Machine Wash
