At LYS they had a basket of Malabrigo…oh it is yummy and soft and lucious and oh oh oh I am in total lust over it!
I went to the handpaintedyarn.com site, but unfortunately they aren’t selling the merino, only the bulky merino…but I am mighty tempted to git me some, if it is half as scrumptious as the merino!!!
I bought some malabrigo at my LYS a couple of weeks ago. It really is gorgeous. But I haven’t started knitting it yet because it’s so beautiful that I want don’t want to knit it into just anything…it seems like it deserves to be something special, and I don’t know what!
I haven’t bought any yet - I’m too afraid to as I sure don’t need another yummy yarn addiction. Though SO many people in knitting blogs are RAVING about it!
Okay, so I broke down and bought some Malabrigo today. I’m knitting some soakers for a friend…and she’s paying for the yarn, so why not? :mrgreen: Really, when you compare it to any othe wool, it’s the obvious choice for a baby item. Hands down. Sooo much softer.
I’ve just knit with the worsted weight merino. It would be soooo perfect for a sweater. I made a diaper soaker with it, so I used smaller needles…but omg, with needles a little larger the drape would be even more fantastic. It’s so soft, I can’t stop touching it.
