I know our girls give us more wool than we know what to do with...and if you need confirmation of that statement, just check out our Etsy Shop to see all the weird stuff we try to make with all that wool...but I still have an addiction to buying other yarn. I've managed to be a good girl over the last few years, only splurging a few times since I left Green Bay in 2008 (the Monterey Yarn Shop in Green Bay was a naughty place for me and I would buy on credit like I had money to pay the bill lol). But I still fantasize about yarn...buying it, knitting it, smelling it...you know, normal yarn lover stuff. I am especially bad about lace weight wools. They are my favorite!! The last time I bought a new skein of lace weight yarn, I came home to find the same colorway already in my yarn bin. Whoopsies! I suppose that yarn stood the test of time though, I still loved the color a year or so after buying the first skein! Anyway, I'm writing this post to share with you some of my favorite yarns! Today I want to share Malabrigo. Of course I prefer to smell and touch and stash in the closet my Malabrigo purchases, so I can't show you anything I've made from it. Maybe someday I'll finish something and update this post ;)

I love the colors! They are mostly kettle dyed, so it is extremely important to get the same dye lots when purchasing more than one skein. Even among dye lots there are differences between skeins. This is what I love about Malabrigo yarn, every skein is different, even when it's the same!

It is also some of the softest yarn ever, a dream to rub against your cheek, or run through your fingers. Their other types of yarn aren't half bad either ;) Moral of the story is, if you come across this yarn - Buy it!! :)
