Thankyou in advance.

Hi Olive Oil! :waving:
Well, that is what I was wondering myself. :shrug: Whatâs all the fuss???
The yarn is 100% MerinoâŚwhich has a reputation for being the finest quality wool you can buy, especially soft. Everyone at KH has âbacked upâ how soft it isâŚand how nicely it knits! The proof is in the puddinââŚso the saying goes!
I purchased some Malabrigo the other dayâŚand it IS NICE!
I am going to close down my 'puter in a secâŚand cast on for the Irish Hiking Scarf! :woot:
BTW: the hanks have 215 yards in themâŚso one skein could make a nice scarfâŚand two skeins would make a longer, or wider scarfâŚand/or a hat and wristlets!
I think itâs just all around one of the best quality yarns you can buy for the price. 100% merino wool, (either felt it or donâtâ), softer than most wools, and like artlady said, about 210 yards per hank at about 10-12$ per hank. And there are so many variations color-wise to choose from!
It really is a joy to knit with and some of the colors!
I love how it looks, how it feels and how it knits.:woohoo:
Iâm waiting for some late guests :tap:âŚ
So Iâm going to take this time to start knitting my scarf in the purple mystery colorwayâŚ
(my friend is ALWAYS late. I think she will be late for her own funeral. She was late for her wedding⌠)

sadly, that is my DH. sometimes he makes us purposely late just to spite me. I am always either on time or early:roflhard:
Itâs soft, itâs luxurious, the colors are divine.
It is a sensual treat and it makes knitting a pleasure.
What more can one say?
I donât have any Malabrigo yarn but I got to touch it in a yarn store when we were on vacation and it is sooo soft!
where do you find this yarn please?
you can google for it and find tons of stores that have it. I get most of mine from www.personalthreads.com because they are my LYS. www.yarn.com has it too and generally good prices.
I have yet to even feel Malabrigo. Thatâs it, Iâm going to order some dangit!! I was trying to resist, but you wonât shut up about it. You people sure have my hopes up. If itâs not completely DIVINE, Iâm afraid Iâm going to be disappointed. And it will be all your fault. And if youâre all right, as I suspect you are, and I do love it, and end up ordering more and more, and sending my family into the poor house, that will be your fault too. Just so you know. :teehee:
Malabrigo yarn is all natural! I bought my first on Friday from A Strand of Purls in Hickory and cannot wait to start a new project with it. The yarn is soft in a simple, elegant way, and I adore its texture.
Silver i am pretty sure it is going to be completely horrible so i am going to PM you my address. This way you can get the offensive yarn out of your house immediately. no reason for you to be traumatized in such a way really. :angelgrin:
Ditto!
Im may be ordering some this week. Depends on how much the school shopping kills me. :roflhard:
You are truly a thoughtful and dear friend. I wouldnât think of soiling your home with such garbage.
Ok Ok I decided to check out the Malabrigo yarn I went directly to their website http://www.malabrigoyarn.com/yarn.html I canât believe the colors how can I chose I love them all âŚ:woot:
If you want to feel it, you can come to my house and bury yourself in my gigantic pile, lol.
I wasnât that impressed with it when I felt it in my LYS, but because of the hysteria from the knit2purl2 sale and the fact that $6 for 215 yards of any yarn is a great price, I went for it. I donât know how I couldnât fully appreciate it in the store, it is really amazing stuff. Letâs put it this way: I am making something with 100% cashmere right now, and the malabrigo is equally soft.
Ok - itâs driving me crazy :wall: how do you pronounce Malabrigo?
Is it âmah lah bree goâ? Accent on the âlahâ?
Iâm a malbrigo virgin as well. Iâve never touched the stuff and unfortunately for me the only stores near me that carry yarn are Walmart and Hobby Lobby cries
I tried to order some off of knit2purl2 but every time I click on the malbrigo link, I get an error message. I think they might have sold out.
But hereâs to hoping my family getâs my hints and orders some for my birthday Especially if itâs as soft as yâall say.
