Malabrigo Silky Merino Yarn - 435 Turquoise Reviews

I was disappointed at first, as the color I saw online was purples, blues and greens and what I received was purples, blues and pinks ew. I persevered nonetheless and was surprised that a yarn renowned for its softness did not seem very soft at all. I couldn't imagine who would want to wear the stiff little shawl I finished a week later, so I waited a few days to block it. When I finally blocked it I was AMAZED to find it is baby-soft and has glorious drape! I will buy this yarn again and again!

So far, every type of Malabrigo yarn I have used has never disappointed me. They really have a quality product and the yarn is not only beautiful, it is a joy to knit with and have it in your hands. I purchased this same yarn in a different color before and came back to this brand and type because it was so beautiful in my finished product a cowl. It's very soft and feels wonderful on your neck and hands, and has wonderful stitch definition.

I use this yarn on the reg, but about 10% of these hanks hide a dirty secret: the knot at the beginning of the skein is sometimes actually holding together two separate lengths of yarn instead of one continuous yardage. I purchased the last one from my LYS, and another in a recent purchase from JBW and both were like this. A good excuse to buy extra, though, right?

This yarn is as it states-very silly and soft as well as affordable...

Love my purchase. Can't wait to start my sweater.

I love all of Malabrigo yarn, and the Silky Merino is no exception. Easy to knit with and such a lovely feel. Has a lot of drape, so might work best for items that don't require a lot of body. I used it for a bandanna shaped cowl. Worked beautifully.

After coveting this yarn for years I means years, and planning and planning what I'd do, I finally ordered ARCHANGEL. It was 75%YELLOW!! It is absolutely NOT what it looked like in the pics--pics I mean anywhere! It's not that it's darker or lighter than what it looks like on the screen--it's that the proportions of the color yellow crazily dominates the hanks, and that is the color that I wanted the LEAST of...SO, SO, SO, SO SAD. SIGH. My favorite color in there the reason I got it was the least predominant.

I just love this yarn. There isn't enough I can say about it without going on and on. The stitch definition is awesome, feels great, knits up great and feels wonderful around your neck! This yarn will not disappoint you.

What can I say about Malabrigo yarns. They are all beautiful. This colorway is amazing. Especially in the silk. Love it.
