A huge shipment of Malabrigo just arrived on our doorsteps, full of Rios, Mecha, Rasta, Sock, and Arroyo. We have been long time lovers of Malabrigo yarn, and our affection only seems to grow the more we work with it!
Rios, a superwash worsted weight, is undoubtably one of our favorites. From hats and scarves, to sweaters and blankets, it's rich colorways and beautiful stitch definition make it a go to for almost any project.
This adorable, unique child's sweater is knit out of bulky weight Mecha, another superwash yarn. Red Velvet, a pattern included in Malabrigo's fabulous new book Ninos, is a sweater that would thrill any little girl!
