Retrosaria Mungo is a lovely worsted weight yarn made in Portugal. Mungo is made with 50% cotton which making it ideal for warmer weather knits. Mungo is entirely spun from pre-consumer waste generated by Portuguese spinning mills making it an amazing and sustainable yarn!
Please remember every effort is taken to ensure accurate photos of the yarn but monitor settings vary.

I was surprised how enjoyable it is to knit with Mungo worsted. It knits up nicely. I am making a polar "shirt/sweater." So far it's been so easy because of this yarn. Thanks for stocking it.
I am working on my second sweater with Mungo. The first was a pullover for summer weather and I am super happy with the results. Mungo makes a soft sturdy fabric. I used my washer to spin it dry after hand washing. It blocked perfectly.
This is a very good choice for warmer weather garments.
I am enjoying the feel of this yarn in a lace pattern. It has a nice, bouncy touch with a dimensional look. It’s quickly becoming a favorite warm weather yarn.
