Malabrigo Chunky

Lovely luxurious yarn, so smooth and soft, a pleasure to work with. I kept stopping to stroke it like a cat! 100g knitted up into a beanie hat and a hairband/ear warmer. I used a loom for the first time, and the end product was so neat and smart, much better than my usual knitting. I will buy more of this brand of chunky 100% Merino wool.

I love the colors (though they are somewhat darker than they appear on the site) and working with this yarn was a joy. HOWEVER, I bought 4 skeins for a project, and ended up with three clearly different dye lots. Not different enough to ruin the whole thing, but enough to be noticeable if you are discerning about colors: one had a lot more blue in it, two were more muted, no bright blue, and one had significantly more brown in it. This was the color scheme VAA, and this last one was the one that looked the closest to the image displayed, and the colors I was going for when I ordered this particular color scheme; I was rather disappointed to see that three of the four skeins looked so different! The only reason I am buying from this company instead of supporting local yarn shops is covid (and the need to not be in a small space with other people), but it makes me think twice about ordering again. I'd expect someone to be looking out for dye lots and such when putting together orders for folks!
