An Epidemic

May 16th, 2006

I predict an epidemic among knitters, of which knitters and non-knitters alike should beware. The threat is a kettle dyed (in beautifully rich colors) single ply merino yarn that just sneaks up on you unawares. This stuff is dangerous, and all knitters should consider buying it. It’s called Malabrigo, and it’s the most wonderful stuff among yarns.

OK, so I can’t realistically say that because I have little experience with great yarns, but I swear this stuff is great!! After lots of knitting and thinking, I’ve decided to make an afghan out of this wonderfully soft stuff. I was first drawn to the colors in the yarn shop, then hooked by its softness when I grabbed a skein. I also love the way it’s spun, and I can live with the occasional too-thickly-spun half inch. It makes my stitches look beautiful, and tempts you to just rub your cheek with its softness.
I’m not alone in this! One of my regular knitting blog reads was going on about it today. She’s even knitting a beautiful green Malabrigo that I really want. ‘Tis the season for green, bright beautiful green.
