Malabrigo Worsted Weight Wool Yarn

I first bought this yarn at my LYS and like looking at the choices here as well. This yarn is extremely lovely work with. I've made sweater for my nieces with it as a Christmas gift. I am including a hand wash label in them though. Everyone tells me how beautiful the colors are and how amazing it feels when I showed them my projects. I am now using it double stranded to make myself a dress.

I adore this yarn. It's quickly becoming my favorite worsted wool. Super soft and pillowy with beautiful color variation. I've ordered several different color ways and I love them all. Mariposa is my current favorite. I'll be ordering lots more. The price is affordable. This yarn is irresistible.

I absolutely LOVE knitting up Malabrigo. It's a dream on my hands and is so buttery soft, you just want to snuggle it all day long. I love the kettle dyed effects and their colorways. This is definitely my favorite brand of yarn. Definitely worth the price!

This yarn IS super soft. Great for a scarf, sweater, cowl, and baby blanket.

cashmere soft for the price of wool, great colors, lots of yardage

I tried this yarn for the first time about six months ago and fell in love. I have made hats for all my family members. It is a beautiful single ply yarn, with great stitch definition and glorious colors!

This yarn is of excellent quality and a pleasure to work with. I received my order very quickly.

Beautiful feel and color is better than expected. Just what I wanted.

First, Malabrigo worsted wool is buttery soft and a dream to work with. I found the colors to be just as I had hoped for and imagined (Ravelry Red, Tuareg, Stone Blue).
Second, I highly recommend Paradise Fibers if you need to order online. The service was very fast and friendly (one color I wanted was backordered and resolving this was very easy). Friendly, efficient, fast service.

I love working with this yarn....it does need some TLC though, so I keep it for more elegant projects. I love that the company is eco-friendly too in their practices and dyeing.

The service was so quick. I always love when something is delivered so quick and is just what you are waiting for. I would certainly order from this company again.

This is now my favorite yarn! I just made the Meret Beret (Ravelry)and it worked up beautifully. Gorgeous colorways too.

Excellent yarn quality and rapid shipment of the yarn, as I have come to expect from Paradise Fibers.

I have ordered twice from Paradise Fibers and both times the service has been excellent. The merchandise came within few days, there were no delays and I was informed by email of the status of my order. The yarn quality is excellent as well.

Nothing makes me happier than a skein of Malabrigo, but this colorway is just so fresh and vibrant! I am VERY happy with this dye lot!

Very soft and the colors are earthy...

All my items were just what I wanted [...]I will be ordering again if I don't spend to much at the workshop. Do you sell at the stitches west show in Santa Clara,Ca.?

I love how quickly this yarn knits up and felts. Made a domino bag from a Vivian Hoxbro pattern and love it so much I'm doing another with Malabrigo worsted in a different colorway.

color variations look wonderful when knitted. It's
loads of fun to see the sweater come to life.

Love this wool. Knits up like a dream and perfect for newborn next to skin wear.

This Stonechat color#173 is a blending of maroon,wine,chocolates to Russet.It is anything but dull or boring. A great winter color combination.

This Malbrigo color UVA73 is a wonderful secondary color to both Malabrigo #176-Loro Barranquero and Rowan felted tweed color#151 Bilberry if your looking to add some bulk to one my favorites.My suggestion is 2 strands of Bilberry with 1 strand of the UVA73 on US#8 needles. This gives you a nice light Aran wt. knit and the combination has both wonderful felting and a suttle heathering effect of the Malabrigo.

This yarn is the same beautiful color Whales Road as the worsted wt. Whales Road and is a wonderful lace yarn and I can think of several other uses for it. I'm not sure if I will use it for lace or will use it with another yarn as a secondary ply yarn,at this point. I know whatever I use it with it will turnout lovely.

using this for an easy sweater, knitting up very quickly. the colors jump quickly so no large color pools. love it!

This yarn is very soft but strong. I bought Whales Road and Bobby Blue and the Whales Road is a beautiful color combination to pair with any of todays denims.I am using it to make socks at present and have used this yarn on Both US#2,3 and #4 needles it knits very well on any and is very versatile. It knits short color changes that blend well like,Fair Isle knitting, rather than long obvious runs of color. This is very appealing to me and I'm sure others. The texture of this yarn is soft enough to use for infant items of all kinds as well as sweaters and scarfs.

Buying yarn online can be a risky experience, but this Malabrigo is absolutely beautiful and the color, Pagoda, on the Paradise Web site is a very accurate representation of the yarn. I am familiar with the brand which helped, but the color shown online was really true to the fiber. I also purchased a companion skein of a more variegated Malabrigo with some of the Pagoda color in the skein and it is perfect. Again very good pricing.[...]

This stuff is incredibly soft. So soft that you exclaim when you reach out and touch it. I couldn't believe it was wool when I first came across it.

One definite disadvantage to this yarn is that it pills quite a bit. (Something to be expected of a lofty, single-ply yarn.) So, just be prepared to shave it regularly, and for the stitch definition to soften with wear.

I love this yarn. It is so very soft. I love to knit baby things with it because then I have a soft wooly baby to hold and it knits so quickly. I also love the slight colour variations in the yarn.

This is seriously one of my favorite yarns! It should not be surprising though since I have never met a person who has knit with Malabrigo that has not fallen head over heels in love with it. It is a super soft and squishy single ply yarn. It is cozy and knits up quickly. One of my favorite items I have knit with it is my Thermis Cowl, but it is a great yarn for anything you want to be soft and cozy such as hats, scarves,sweaters, vests, or cardigans. You will never regret buying this yarn!

beautiful yarn...that gives an earthiness to your project...soft,lovely

Malabrigo, how I love thee, let me count the ways....
The endless colors are beautiful, so many choices, with so little time to create! If I could choose one yarn to knit with for the rest of my life, it would be Malabrigo Worsted. It is so versatile and so easy to work with. And it is so soft. I get great results every time I use it. I wish I lived in Uruguay so I could be closer to the source!

I use this yarn for almost my entire winter collection. I love it! While it will pill a little bit after awhile (I notice this with only gloves), it is a small price to pay for all the positive aspects. It's very soft, the colorways are fantastic, and you get a good amount of yardage per skein. In my opinion it's the best for the price.

I love the bright vibrant colors of Malabrigo yarn. It knits up quickly and at least for me it doens't pool as much. it is a little coarser than my usual yarns but it's a great yarn to use.

I knit a cabled hat out of this soft and smooth yarn that turned out beautifully. The yarn was very easy on the hands and enjoyable to knit. It was a bit slippy on metal needles, so I switched to bamboo which worked much better for me. I hear that singles can pill easily, but I haven't noticed any on my hat. The colors ranged from softly muted to rich and vibrant. Lovely.

I first discovered Malabrigo merino worsted yarn in a store in Phoenix, Arizona in the middle of the summer. Not the best time to consider warm wool yarns, but I was smitten with the Apple Green kettle-dyed Malabrigo yarn the first time I laid eyes on it. The kettle-dyed colors are so pure and intense, with subtle variations that really add depth to a knitting project.

I love to knit hats, so I knit a hat with the Apple Green and I loved working with it so much that I bought more. The yarn I used was single-ply, but with good body, definition and width consistency throughout. I combined it with a Noro worsted yarn with spectacular results. A plus is that it is soft enough that I didn't have to line the hat.

Malabrigo a pleasure to knit and I didn't have issues with the yarn splitting or fraying. The dye consistency is very good as well, with no blank spots.

My only issue with Malabrigo -- and it's a small one, not enough to make me want to stop using it -- is that the knitted item will fuzz and pill a little over time, but most yarns do that to some extent.

Overall, it is a wonderful yarn and should be given a try to fully appreciate it the color and softness. I is really more like 4-1/2 stars.

Malabrigo is a super-soft, single-plied yarn made from specially selected sheep wool in Uruguay. The texture is buttery soft and the yarn can be worn next-to-skin. The yarn is kettle-dyed and comes in any color to moisten your knitting palate. There are wonderful neutrals, vibrant colors, and interesting variegated yarns. The yarn knits up well at a variety of gauges - knit at a tighter gauge to reduce the pilling that naturally comes with a super-soft, single-plied yarn or knit a looser gauge to give your project incredible drape. Although not recommended for socks, the yarn wears well when hand-washed and cared for properly.
