| The Malabrigo brand is my favorite yarn brand of all. The Malabrigo Silky Merino is a joy to work with. Knits up beautifully and has that little sheen that silk adds to the blend. Definitely try this yarn! |

| I previously gave this yarn 5 stars before I finished my Swirl Sweater, but now after blocking it I'm changing to 3 stars because of the bleeding color. The gorgeous intensity of the color is gone after using Soak in cool water. Other than the color factor, it is a nice yarn to work with. |

| I really enjoyed working with this yarn. As some reviewers have said, it has its quirks, but I have learned to appreciate some of them. A few commented on the texture- while I admit it's different, I like that it is soft and don't mind the slight waxiness. In fact, if you use a loose enough gauge, it works exceedingly well. Another complaint is that the colors are not consistent within the skein. I have purchased several colors, and while in the paler yarns the variation is not as noticeable (in fact I think it adds a little depth), in the deeper colors (like raspberry) it definitely gives it a faded, worn look. Again, this is not necessarily a bad thing; I've had people who absolutely LOVED the effect. Finally, the last point of contention is the weight of the yarn; although this is not advertised as a thick-and-thin yarn, the width of the ply can alter drastically. In some areas it can be almost lace weight, and in some it nearly reaches worsted; however these areas are brief and not terribly frequent (occurring only a few times per skein). This was the biggest negative for me, but overall it isn't a huge problem. If you're unsure of whether you'd like working with it, I'd suggest buying one skein in a medium color (so you get the variation, but not too much), and making a small project to start. You might hate it, or it might become your new favorite yarn. As I said; it takes the right kind of person to love its quirks! |

| I am loving working with this yarn. It is so, so soft and knits evenly and with good stitch definition. Just started on a Swirl jacket so I don't have any comments about the finished product yet. The color is yummy! |

| after all the rave reviews I could hardly wait for this yarn to arrive. wow....BIG disappointment. First was my own fault thought this was a slow/long dye color transistion, it is NOT. I was not impressed with the fiber, to me it is too fuzzy, reminds me of unwaxed dental floss, and while soft I am afraid of how it will wear with use.... I thought it limp and lifeless not at all what I expected with it's fibre content. |

| Am knitting a jacket from knitters magazine of several colors of this yarn, it is great to work with, feels good, soft but has body and the colors are great. |
