Malabrigo Worsted
Hand Dyed incredible soft Merino wool. With the subtle variations in color and texture only hand dyed yarns have and all the sensuality of a good handspun yarn.
Malabrigo Worsted is a gorgeous, pure merino wool. Malabrigo is unbelievable - the colors are spectactular, the feel is incredibly soft. You won't believe how amazing Malabrigo is until you feel it!
Please note: Malabrigo Worsted is produced in dye lots of 10. Any order for more than 10 skeins will be of mixed dye lots.

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.

This yarn is incredibly soft but the pilling and shedding was excessive. I returned it after knitting the back of a sweater. This knitted piece almost appeared matted. I have seen pictures of the knitted garments in this wool and the amount of pilling was dramatic so this was not an isolated case. Best use is for felting

Comments about Malabrigo Worsted:
I am using this yarn to make a sweater and though I'm just working on guage so far, I've had to reuse the same bit of yarn several times and it continues to knit easily and looks great. I like Malabrigo very much - this is my third or fourth recent project with it...

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.
