I recently reconnected with my sister after an estrangement of several years. To celebrate that, I’d make her a pair of fingerless mitts. She lives in the north & mentioned to me how she loves items like that because they leave her fingers free. Malabrigo yarn would make such an item a treasure!

The shades of colors in this yarn are beautiful. I would first make up a test swatch before making a final decision for a project. I’d like to see how the shades blend together with different width and lengths of knitting. Having 210 yards on the skein, I’d probably do either a scarf or gloves.

If you’ve never knitted with Malabrigo yarns, you’re in for a treat. Soft, drapeable, holding beautiful stitches if you like lace patterns, it is a joy to work with. I have a pattern that requires about 200 yds – and is all lace. It would be breathtaking in this yarn colorway! Fingers crossed!
