This yarn is just like the Malabrigo Worsted you've grown to love, but in a new spectacular array of unique colors. Malabrigo is a gorgeous, pure merino wool. Made by a small, family owned yarn company located in Uruguay, the foremost wool producer country of South America and one of the world's most important. They work closely with a cooperative of women in rural Uruguay to produce wonderful yarns. The colors are spectactular, the feel of the yarn is incredibly soft. Think Manos, only better with more yardage. You won't believe how amazing it is until you feel it!
