This yarn is soooo soft! I’d make a cowl for close to my face.
April 26, 2017
I’d make a lacy scarf.
April 25, 2017
I’d knit a hat! I love knitting hats in all kinds of yarns. Each has its own color and weight but there is a season for every hat!
April 25, 2017
Oh my goodness, I LOVE Malabrigio I must have a hat/shawl/socks of this… I am just in love!
April 25, 2017
I knit and crochet dolls and toys to reinforce fine motor skills and this would make beautiful, soft dolls that are fun and easy on the hands.
April 25, 2017
I have a pattern for a lacy keyhole scarf that I’ve used with the 220 Superwash that would work beautifully with a skein of this beautiful yarn!
April 25, 2017
I’ve always loved Malabrigo yarns and now you’ve made my favorite combination and weight in one. DK is my favorite weight in yarn since it’s not too heavy and not too light. And I absolutely love the softness of alpaca mixed with beautiful merino to make the perfect yarn. There’s so many things I can make from this yarn—I have a cute sweater in mind, then a brioche hat, a cowl, some fingerless gloves! You may need to add more colors.
April 23, 2017
Something brioche…it is so addictive to knit!! Maybe a cowl.
April 22, 2017
Thank you for the giveaway. We are expecting our first grandchild, and I would like to knit something for baby with this beautiful yarn.
April 21, 2017

I love malabrigo yarn!
Love it!!
April 21, 2017
Love Malabrigo yarns. Think this yarn would make a beautiful shawl or fingerless mitts.
April 21, 2017
Ooh, gorgeous colors! It would be a toss-up between a lace-and-cable knit scarf (and I have so many scarves but love to make more!) or some much-needed fingerless mitts. I suppose if the yarn is really soft it would become a scarf but if it is tighter-spun and more robust then it would be hard-wearing enough to go on hands. Love it!
April 21, 2017
So soft and gorgeous! I would make a soft, cozy wrap!
April 20, 2017
Fingerless mitts or hat!
April 20, 2017

April 20, 2017
SOCKS or Slippers, I would love the blue colored yard to go with jeans

April 20, 2017
I’m chiming in with fingerless gloves. I recently moved to Portland, Oregon after living in TX for far too long. Fingerless gloves are so appropriate for this climate and I can just imagine this lovely yarn keeping my hands warm and cozy!
April 20, 2017
I love Malabrigo. The colors, the squish, the endless possibilities. I would make a shoulder wrap for my mom.

April 18, 2017
I love using rios for shawls.
April 18, 2017
I know EXACTLY what I would make with this beautiful skein of Aniversario: the Spiral Euphoria Cowl. The small version calls for the same amount in the skein of Dos Tierras, and even though the pattern calls for worsted weight, Dos Tierras, with its multiple plies and alpaca halo in DK weight, will do just fine. It will be the perfect project to show off all the colors in this great Malabrigo shade!
April 18, 2017
I’m a beginner, so I don’t know what I’d knit, but I love the colors!
April 18, 2017
