MalabrigoRios #120 Lotus

5 Stars for the seller (Beads and Yarn). Fast shipping, nice packaging, and a handwritten thank you on the invoice. I appreciate the convenience of shopping on Amazon but knowing I am purchasing from a small business. $15.40 is the best price you can usually find per hank for Malabrigo + free shipping - even on just one - cannot beat it.The yarn itself I personally love. It is true it is on the thinner/lighter side for a worsted weight yarn. I find it very soft, love the colors, and it knits up beautifully. I love that Rios is a superwash wool for ease of care. I am currently using it in multiple projects.This time I purchased just one hank of Lotus, because despite many other choices, both my daughters want THIS ONE for the hats I’m making them, and I only had the one. The new one I received is not quite as vibrant as the other - but it doesn’t matter, the hats will be on two different heads. I also fully expected this, given the other was purchased about 3 years ago. Lol. It’s actually more similar than you might expect under those circumstances - very obviously the same color way (which is a soft, beautiful mix of lavenders, purples, light blue/aqua/teal). I’m pretty sure it came from the same seller because I remember the tissue wrapping and handwritten note. Thank you, Jenny! :)

This is the best yarn I’ve ever tried yet.Very soft, not itchy at all, it’s a very nice strong thread. It won’t break, well made!Also, just FYI because it’s a handdye yarn the color on each yarn might be a little bit different, or might not. It depends, but it’s nothing serious.Very easy to knitt with. I’m working on sweater and it looks very colorful!You can use 6-8 needle size, that’s what they suggest. I have Chiaogoo needles, I knitted a small piece of it to see what size is better for knitting and figured that for making a sweater size 5 gonna work great. But also, because I’m xsmall size and I want it to be more tigh.It’s all up to you what needles you want to use. And yeah, before start doing any projects knitt a sample of this yarn, so you can see how it’s gonna work.I definitely recommend it.

Beautiful yarn, shipped really quickly and very good quality for cost. Will buy again.

Love Malabrigo. Purchased 2 of the same color and they were perfect for a hat and scarf project!

This got here super quick and is crocheting beautifully. I'm using a split single crochet to replicate a knit texture so I can only imagine how gorgeous a full knit piece would look with this yarn. Loving it!

Can't wait to use it.This yarn is super soft and love the color blending,

Love this yarn. So much fun to work with.
