wow I LOVE this yarn .If I could afford it, I would make everything from here on out from this yarn. So soft and thick and the depth of the colors-- I got piedras and its amazing the range of colors within it, all the shades and speckled tones of ripening fruit. It doesnt fray or shed like some single ply supers you can even pull out and reknit several times and no shedding or fuzzies AT ALL, stays smooth and shiny.

This is yellow??
The color was shown as butter yellow. When I opened the package, I was shocked to see dark pumpkin.

Comments about Malabrigo Rasta:
I love this yarn! So far I have made one hat and one scarf and they are both beautiful. I wanted to order a different color way but unfortunately, probably due to the small dyelots, there is a lot of variation in the yarn as displayed on the website and the Oxido yarn I received. The color on the website has beautiful warm reddish yellow coppery color and gold, the yarn I received, if I had knit it into a hat, would have looked as though I had been severely beaten about the head, the color was the many colors of blood, fresh and drying, really, really dreadful, so it may be best to buy it in a store. Otherwise, it is really wonderful and I love it!

Comments about Malabrigo Rasta:
This yarn knits up fast! Projects can be done in no time. Colors are so amazing. Each skein is really one of a kind.Super soft hand. Really warm. Great for cooler areas.
It can sometimes twist up while knitting but can be absorbed and not really seen.
Love this yarn!
