Malabrigo Finito

March 7th, 2012

Malabrigo does it again! Not only do they dye the most beautiful colors but they choose gorgeous fibers as well. This time they have chosen an ultrafine merino fiber for Malabrigo Finito in a light fingering weight. The yarn is so soft that it does fell like cashmere when knitting and when knitted up. To see the colors, pricing etc and to pre-order this go to the Malabrigo Finito page on Nine Rubies Knitting. We are expecting this yarn to arrive on March 14th/15th 2012 in our store. The yarn is probably only going to come out once a year and when supplies are gone, it will have to wait until next year.

Meanwhile, we do have a sample skein at the store – thank you Tobias! I started playing with it and was thinking of samples to make with this. Let’s see it’s a light fingering yarn and has 220 yards to the skein. Single Skein projects that seem like they would do well in this yarn:

Red Skies at Night

 

Maluka

A Very Good Cowl Indeed

I particularly like the idea of a cowl as the yarn is soo soft, it will be very nice against the soft skin of the neck.

For 2 skein projects, so far I like:

Falling Water

I Want You

So, tell me what you would like to make in this yarn! I know what we are going to make with this yarn for the store sample.
