"Super soft, not itchy at all, knots up beautifully. Only thing I would say is that it does start fluffing up if you have to unravel and reknit with it, but it still looks gorgeous. I do wonder if the superwash ‘Rios’ would be better for this exact reason. I got the colour Forest and it’s the most beautiful deep green with some lighter almost sea-blue sections. I can’t wait to buy more!"

I have been purchasing from this company for a long, long time.

Love this yarn. I keep buying it and making more Chanel style jackets. It is very soft to the touch but holds up structurally. It is expensive but well worth it. I get so many compliments and am always asked where the jackets can be purchased.

Lovely yarn that knits up fast

I love Malabrigo yarns! I'm using the worsted for some Christmas presents, mainly hats. It was the right thickness. I actually wanted caprino to be held double but you don't stock it. This yarn is lovely and knits up fast.

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...

In the decades that I have been crocheting and knitting, Malabrigo is my favourite of all yarns. The quality and subtle way it is dyed make it unique and a dream to crochet with because the colours change subtly as you work. The quality of this 100% wool from Peru is also exceptional and it seems to have virtually no pilling. It produces a dense, clearly defined stitch which makes even the simplest of stitches look beautiful. The range of colours is also wonderful, although some may be out of...

Good offers, good customer support and delivery

This yarn is beautifully soft. The hardest thing about it is trying to unravel the skein into a ball

I have been purchasing from this company for a long, long time.

Love this yarn and have already bought and made four Chanel style jackets and will probably make more. It is wonderfully solitary to the touch but holds up structurally.
