    Colour not as advertised.

    Whilst the yarn feels soft and of good quality it was absolutely nothing like the colour of the advised photograph and s therefore not suitable for the project it was purchased for. It is altogether a red tone in person and something I would never have purchased had I seen it in a shop so therefore I cannot give it a high rating. Was disappointed with this purchase WOOLSTACK RESPONSE: We want everyone to be delighted with their orders, so sorry to hear that you weren't on this occasion. We take extensive care to ensure the pictures for hand-dyed Malabrigo are a good representation of the yarn we have in stock - including checking every new bag against the picture we're using before making it available, and every order against the picture used when it was purchased before packing it up to send out. While we use calibrated monitors to do the checks, not all displays are made equal, and some, phones in particular, can have non-standard colour profiles. Yarns can also look different in different lighting conditions and when the skein is unwound. A further potential issue is to use someone else's picture as Malabrigo can vary *wildly* - particularly this colourway and a few others. Please only ever use our pictures when ordering from us (and don't use our picture if ordering from someone else!) You can find more info here: https://www.woolstack.co.uk/blog/hand-dyed-malabrigo/ We were not contacted about this item, so I can't say what the specific issue was. in this case. If you are not happy with something you get from us, please just email / call us and we can get it sorted for you.

    Fabulous yarn

    This is a dream of a yarn - super colours and soft like silk! The two skeins I received were not from the same colour batch, though....and the difference was very big. (Woolstack: Thanks for your review. These two skeins were from the same dye lot. However Malabrigo can vary wildly even in the same dye lot especially in certain colourways. Knit every few rows from a different skein and even very different skeins will blend nicely!)

Description

A soft, smoothly-plied, lightweight sock yarn spun from luxurious merino and treated to make it machine washable for easy care. Don't be fooled by the name - while it's certainly a treat for the feet, this delightful yarn is also a particular favourite for shawls and scarves!

Great for: lace, shawls, scarves, garments, baby and child items, gloves and of course socks!

Note: Malabrigo comes in small dye lots so please be sure to buy enough yarn for your project. As with any hand dyed yarn, there can be significant shade differences between skeins, even within a dye lot, so we recommend that you alternate skeins every few rows to prevent striping.
