Soft Enough to Stop You Mid-Row

Malabrigo Worsted is the yarn that converts people. Hand-dyed in Uruguay from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, each skein is unbelievably soft, vibrantly colored, and completely unique. The rich, multi-tonal hand-dyed colorways give every project depth and personality — whether you're knitting a cozy sweater or crocheting a statement accessory.

At worsted weight with 210 yards per skein, it's versatile enough for almost any project on your list and works up beautifully in both simple and textured stitches.
