This yarn is beautiful. So fine and soft, I am really enjoying knitting it up. I am using it for knitting an Infinity Scarf, it has a gorgeous drape and will be warm. If you like knitting a fine yarn then this one is the one.
I ordered the Tuareg colour and I'm disappointed as it's not like shown on the website, and also doesn't have an ombre at all. Overall, this yarn is very thin and silky, lovely in touch but I was hoping for a little firmer feel.
I have knit with other Malabrigo yarns but this is my first Silkpaca purchase. I loved feeling the silky softness while winding this yarn and the color Bobby Blue will be perfect for a Hasukai Cowl to complement my wardrobe. I'm inspired to cast on right now...
This is the first time I have used a lace-weight yarn. I am enjoying knitting up the project as it is so light and so far seems to drape well. the colours, indiecita, are soft and subtle. The pattern is for a sweater which is knitted top down which I have only ever done once before. It definitely needs markers, which is clear in the pattern. So far so good.
It looks and feels lovely. I'm combining it with another yarn to knit a jumper. It is lovely.
I'm completely in love with this yarn. I've been a huge fan of Malabrigo for years, and finally found the right project for this particular colourway. I'm using it to create the "Evenstar" shawl from Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/evenstar-shawl So far, I've just cast it on and worked a few rows, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. The yarn is exactly the right weight for this lace project, and I'll definitely be buying more in different hues.
Knitted double strand with this and it's lovely. Very strong spin to stranding so easy to use, and soft and silky feel to garment. Good deep dye colour and true to chart on website.
This will eventually be a beautiful wrap called Sea Grass, designed by Janina Kallio. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous and a joy to habdle
fabolous yarn, very soft! I mixed with another thread of cashmere. Going to complete this sweater and I can't be happier
Yarn has great texture. Soft with a nice sheen and beautiful drape when knitted up. I made a beaded shrug (shawl with sleeves) that worked well with this yarn.
