Malabrigo Worsted

Knit a swatch with cable and seed pattern for a specific project, this worsted is lovely. I got the color Uva ( which means Grape), a rich dark duller purple with some red hints, it is much more rich and varied than my photo shows. I had not had a chance to see this color in the store, I took a chance with the online photo and I am delighted with the color, it suits my skin tone as well as I'd hoped. I was surprised at how beautifully the single ply worsted holds stitch definition, the cables are crisp and clear, the seed stitch pops. I was worried that the color variations and darker shade would make it harder to see the cables, but it seems instead to give them more depth. And the yarn feel is springy, soft, a delicious. I wish they had the Uva color in more of their yarn lines, so far I've only seen it in the worsted, but I might not have tried the worsted if I'd found the color elsewhere, since I've had poor luck with single ply before, and this choice is overall superb. Great yarn!
