Malabrigo Ultimate Sock is a luxuriously soft and squishy yarn. Malabrigo’s colourways are always stunning, and this range is no different. Coming in creamy neutrals as well as bright, multi coloured speckles, there’s a colour here to suit everyone’s needs.

This lightweight sock yarn has 25% nylon added to it, making it strong and durable. It is also a super-wash, so no hand-washing needed!

This wool would also make a wonderful option for shawls and scarves, as it’s buttery soft and very light. The bold colourways will make something really fun and unique.

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.

Please note, each skein of Malabrigo’s hand dyed yarns is unique. Colours can vary even within dye lots and quite dramatically between dye lots. To insure random colour distribution in big projects we recommend working from two skeins at once, alternating every few rows.
