A Quick Fix

Malabrigo Chunky is a wonderfully soft 100% merino wool yarn. Perfectly suited to knitting snuggly garments and accessories. Think chunky cowls and hats, or oversized sweaters and baby blankets.

This yarn knits up in no time creating an amazingly thick of soft fabric. Start your project one day and be wearing it the next!

The striking hand dyed colours are something Malabrigo is renowned for and we stock a selection of bright semi-solid and fun variegated colourways.

This is great yarn for beginners!

Malabrigo is a family-owned company started by two brothers in law in their kitchen and with their dye pots.

Based in Uruguay, Malabrigo specialise in hand-dyed yarns and they also produce their own unique bases. Some of the fleece used comes from their own flock of merino sheep who are grazed near their headquarters in Montevideo. The rest is sourced from Uruguayan farms where sheep are allowed to graze free-range through the hills and are herded by ranchers. Please also note that mulesing is not practiced in Uruguay.

In 2017 Malabrigo started using renewable wood pellets as their main source of energy.
