A Very Malabrigo Rasta Holiday!

Malabrigo Rasta in Rosalinda
If you are looking to knit a sweater by Christmas, a scarf or cowl by the weekend, or a hat by tomorrow, Malabrigo Rasta is the perfect yarn choice!

Malabrigo Rasta is a luxurious, super bulky yarn made from 100% merino wool which is renowned for its incredible softness and warmth. Hand-dyed in small batches, Rasta features a stunning array of rich, vibrant colors, including both solids and variegated tones, ensuring every skein is unique. With its single-ply construction and slightly felted texture, this yarn offers excellent stitch definition while maintaining a cozy, plush feel.
