i drove to a new (to me) yarn store after work yesterday (okay, it might have been 30 miles out of my way), and low and behold, what did they have in their little wooden bins but the coveted malabrigo! i bought two. i wanted more, but tried to show some restraint. couldn’t pass up noro at 50% off (again with the two skeins, i can’t ever buy just one), and some pretty claudia’s handpainted sock yarn.
