    Malabrigo Silkpaca Arco Iris

    Beautiful soft, fine yarn! I used a 2mm crochet hook to make the viral "Sophie" scarf. Unbelievably, there was enough in the 50g ball to make this, and add a simple scalloped edge. The colours in the yarn are not as vibrant as the photograph, the variagared colours changes in a quick succession so can't be seen from a distance, and the scarf appears as a mottled purple colour. Still very beautiful.

    Magnificent Malabrigo!

    I am delighted with my purchase of Malabrigo Silky Merino yarn, which arrived with lightning speed and cleverly vacuum-packed to fit through the letterbox. Due to Woolstack's careful matching of photos to available dye lots, the shades within the colourway- Arco Iris- are exactly as depicted. The yarn itself is soft and lustrous, and I can't wait to cast on. Thank you Woolstack!

    Definitely 5 star Plus!

    Have not knitted my Arco Iris yet but having knitted with Silkpaca before (in Archangel)I know that it will be beautiful, silky soft with a wonderful feeling of luxury. The colours of Arco Iris are lovely and vibrant, as expected Highly recommended.
