Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
This is undoubtedly the best yarn I've ever worked with.
I realize just about everyone is saying the same things, but I can't help it. The colors are unreal - so vivid and they come in some fantastic and unusual combinations. It's the softest thing I've ever felt, and has a great drape, so it's perfect for sweaters and scarves. (Two hanks is exactly enough for a scarf as long as there's no fringe.) And the quality is excellent. After using dozens of hanks I've never once had a break and the weight, while variable, isn't *too* variable.
This yarn is a delight.

Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
I fully concur with all the previous reviewers, and just add a few lines here on the felting quality of this yarn. Knitting it, initially, you're struck by how soft and pleasant this yarn is, it's beautiful drape, and luxurious feel. I just happened to have this pattern for a felted hat, so I wanted to give it a go, to see if I can figure it out, and if this yarn works well for felting. It took a few rather aggressive rounds in the washer and dryer before the hat had shrunk to its intended size, but what a nice hat it is! The softness of the yarn carried beautifully through, and the colors blended well. There are easier yarns that felt much more willingly, I'm sure, but if you want to add softness and delightful hand-dyed colors to your project, this is where I'd start.

Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
Not only are the colors vibrant and amazing, but the yarn is smooth on the needles and easy on your hands!
Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
I love Malabrigo worsted. It is very soft against the skin, and holds textured stitches well (such as cabling) with good stitch definition. No splits, no vegetable matter, and beautiful colors to work with!
Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
I was at my LYS, and just happened to see some Worsted 'Deja vue' and liked the colours. I purchased all 6 skeins available and got home and found the perfect pattern. OMG!!!! This is the softest, drapiest, most wonderful yarn to work with!! The shawl is turning out perfect, the colours are oh, so soft! I'm totally in love with this yarn!
Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
This was the first yarn I used, and it's still my favorite. The colours are incredible. It is easy to work with and results in a super-soft product. I love it.
Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
Very soft yarn, excellent product at a very reasonable price. The only problem I've had is with dye lots. They do very small dye lots so if you're doing a bigger project (like a hat/mitten/scarf set) you might have some color variation.
Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
I think this yarn is geat. Besides being soft and yummy, it seems to ensure that every stitch will be perfect. I just finished a baby sweater with a cable on each front (October 10, 2008, calendar) and it is incredibly cute. A quick knit!
Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
The color, the softness, what can I say that other people can't? This yarn is outstanding, if you haven't tried it you should.
