  • Our take on the Malabrigo Worsted

    Malabrigo Worsted is a single-ply, kettle-dyed merino yarn from Uruguay, sold in 100 g skeins with about 210 yards each. It is known for a soft, squishy hand, strong stitch definition and a huge color range of solids, semi-solids and variegated shades. Knitters use it for accessories, cables, textured stitches, colorwork and felting. Against smoother plied worsteds it shows more halo and uneven dye variation, and it pills and felts easily, so it suits hand-wash projects rather than hard-wearing everyday garments.

    About the Malabrigo Worsted

    Malabrigo Worsted is a single-ply yarn made from fine Uruguayan Merino wool. It is soft and squishy, with good stitch definition. It comes in solid, semi-solid, and variegated colors.

    The yarn is kettle-dyed in small batches by artisan dyers, so the color varies subtly within each skein. Each skein looks slightly different from the next, and no two are exactly alike. Photos are approximate.

    It suits accessories, hand-wash-friendly garments, and next-to-skin wear. It works for cables, textured stitches, and colorwork, and it can also be used for felting projects.

    Questions and answers

    Is Malabrigo Worsted good for beginners?
    It is soft and easy to knit, but the single ply can split and the hand-wash care makes it less forgiving. Beginners may prefer a plied superwash yarn for first garments.
    How does it compare with Malabrigo Rios?
    Rios is a plied superwash merino, so it is more durable and machine washable. Worsted is softer and squishier but needs hand washing and pills more.
    How much yarn do I need for a hat or sweater?
    A hat typically takes one skein, and a small sweater several. Buy all skeins at once and add an extra for matching variegated shades.
    Can I machine wash it?
    No. Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry; heat and agitation cause felting.
    Is it suitable for felting?
    Yes. The single-ply merino felts readily, which suits fulled bags, slippers and bowls.
    What needle size should I use?
    About US 7 to 9 (4.5 to 5.5 mm) gives roughly 4.5 stitches per inch. Swatch first, since gauge affects drape and fit.
    Where is the Malabrigo Worsted cheapest?
    At Little Knits, for $11.99, 19% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Malabrigo Worsted?
    Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 379 ratings.
    Where can I buy the Malabrigo Worsted?
    11 stores we checked sell it, including Purls of Wisdom, Little Knits, Amazon, Yarn.com, Eat.Sleep.Knit.
