Love the colors for crochet projects

I do a lot of playing around with crochet, and I just love Malabrigo colours. I think it’s a worsted weight. I think it’s going to be a runner for the bottom of the bed maybe.

Malabrigo is one of my favorite yarns to use. From Rios to sock weight, I love all of it. It is very soft and luxurious. It is my go-to yarn for those very special gifts.

Product not as described and no response from LoveCarfts customer service

I am very disappointed with this purchase. The product I received (Malabrigo Worsted, color 020) does not match the color shown on the website at all. The yarn was advertised as a cypress green, but what I received is a charcoal black color, with no visible undertones or variation. I understand that some color variation between screens and real products is normal, but in this case the difference is extreme. In addition, the skeins do not have a dye lot indicated, and the color is so far from...

Reliable great service

I love this yarn. I’ve used it several times especially for gift knits. Superwash means u can gift to non knitters without fear of them not following washing instructions. It has lovely stitch definition and squish. I love this vibrant colourway so with the sale price on decided to treat myself to a sweater quantity for my birthday. I’m considering a felix sweater or cardigan.
