Diablo Print is a magnificent member of the Diablo-family. This version offers long, elegant color changes, resulting in wide stripes. The colors mix slightly where they meet, which gives them an interesting and unique look.
Like the rest of the family, Diablo Print is a great mohair mix well-known for being soft, voluminous, and light as air. The lovely quality is spun for Hobbii in Italy. With its beautiful, fluffy glow, Diablo can be a great and cheap alternative to a Kid Silk.
You can use Diablo Print by itself or use it in a double stranded project. Combine it with wool or acrylic to give your project more structure and weight. Alternatively, knit or crochet using Diablo Print with two or three strands of solid color Diablo. That way, you will get more volume while preserving the yarn’s feather light properties.
Please be aware that the long color changes in the composition of the print means that the skeins can look very different. We’ve tried to illustrate this in our product photos. Because of this, we need to specify that Diablo Print is sold per skein, not in packs of three as illustrated in the photo.

Such light and airy yarn. I’m using this to create a Rowan designed jumper by Martin Storey and it’s like knitting with air. The finished garment will likely fit inside a sandwich box it’s so ethereal like a loud. Gorgeous

Love the 09 colour way. Made a scarf and the little white specs really look great.

This yarn is gorgeous; soft, fluffy and in beautiful colours.
What's not to like!

Having reviewed the cousin yarn i.e. (the Diablo solid), due to the wool composition, it tends to dry the hands whilst knitting. Ideally you could rate in 1/2 marks, but as this only allows for full stars, the end result is a 4 and not a 4.5. Whilst it's cousin would have scored a 3.5.
On the plus side this wild yarn truly lives up to its name! There is a great choice of colours to suit a good range of tastes to rock everyone's boat! This is one of the best range of variegated yarns that I have worked with as the colours within each ball are very complimentary even those with a wide contrast like shade 03 (Wild Thing). You can tell a lot of thought went into this yarn as the names are great too!
