Malabrigo Merino yarn combine a luxurious hand and gorgeous color with great yardage and a reasonable price. Malabrigo Merino Worsted is their original offering, and still their most popular product. You really have to feel this to believe it. "Soft" doesn't begin to describe it! Their Silky Merino adds the sheen and drape of silk to the memory of wool. It's possibly even softer than the Worsted, but with a lovely subtle shine. It makes beautiful shawls and wraps, in addition to very cozy sweaters.
