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!
April 17, 2017

Spring reminds us how lovely it is to let go of the dead things in our lives, to see the beauty in the everyday, and to realize our resting against the trunk of a tree while knitting a sweater is, in reality, holding the universe together.
