Mmmmmmm! Love Twist with a passion. Favorite colors: Violetas,, Ravelry Red, Stone Blue!
I’ve never been lucky enough to knit or crochet with Malabrigo, so I can’t say I have a favorite. I’d love any color I could get my hands on, but I’d love any darker blues/greens/browns/oranges – you know, fall colors 🙂
I use the HECK out of the Sock. Scarflettes, scarves, socks, socks, socks, little stuffed animals for my girls and others. Lurvely stuff. I’ve used the Rios for a hat but I keep heading back to Sock.
Favorite colors are Boticelli Red, Archangel, and Machu Picchu
Malabrigo Sock : Azules, Abril and Solis, if I have to pick favourites!
Sock is my favorite and in colors Cote D’Azure, Ravelry Red and Lettuce – but that just a start.

I have two malabrigo yarns. One is waiting to be made into a hat. The other was a frogged ambrosia mitten! It’s so yummy and soft!
My favorite colors are blue graphite, Persia and lettuce.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Malabrigo Worsted and my favorite colors are Stonechat, Burgundy and Charrua, if I had to pick only 3. 🙂
Mal sock is my favourite, overall, although I use anything Mal very happily. Favourite colourways: Inditeca, Archangel & Stonechat.
I love worsted and my favorite colors are polar morn, bobby blue and mariposa.
I love silky and worsted! I love the Indecita, Orchid, and Baby Electra colors!
I’m knitting with Sily Merino for the first time, and I love it. My fav colors are Arco Iris, Raspberry and Bee. Thanks!

Malabrigo worsted.
Polar morn. Verde Esperanza. Frank ochre.
worsted! but rasta is a really close second and i love azul bolita geranio and frank ochre
I like both Chunky and worsted weights in this yarn. I have knit with the worsted and have some chunky in my stash just waiting for the perfect project. I am a fan of yellow so my favorite colors, at the moment, are sunset, pollen, sm gold.
I’ve never used Malabrigo and I just spent 10 minutes on their site trying to pick 3 favorite colors. Too many beautiful choices!
I’ve never had the pleasure to knit with Malabrigo. I like almost every color but orange, yellow and brown.

I love Twist and the Merino Worsted, in any color…I love them all!

Love the squishiness of the sock yarn – especially in the Ravelry Red, Persia and and Arbol.
lettuce, velvet grape, garden gate, in Malabrigo worsted. I love this yarn!!!
Haven’t had a chance to knit with it yet but I’d love to give it a try. Blues, greens and greys are the colors I’m loving right now!
Chunky! Love it! And someday I can’t wait to get my hands on the Rasta! Please don’t make me pick my favorite colours, isn’t not an easy thing to do 😉 I do lean towards the colours of fall leaves, and stay away from pinks.
Lately, Rios. So that would mean Cumparsita, Azul Profundo, and Paris Night.
I like Malabrigo’s Silky Merino in “Stonechat,” “Lilita,” and “London Sky” — although, admittedly, all of their colorways are lovely. Now I just wish I had an excuse to purchase and use them. 🙂
I’m a BIG fan of Rasta! Arco Iris, Solis and Archangel are my faves. My local fiber store can’t keep it in stock!
The sock yarn is the only one I’ve used and I love it. It’d be great to have a chance to play with some worsted!
As for favorite colorway, Malabrigo has so many beautiful colors, my favorites change every time I look through them. The ones that are calling out to me today are the periwinkle, the verde esperanza, and the forest.
i love all yarns, but covet the lace, in ravelry red, pagoda, and VAA 😛
I love Malabrigo Sock. I have a considerable stash of Violetta Africana, but also have really loved Impressionist Sky and Lettuce for a long time.
I’ve never used Malabrigo but it’s on my wish list. I’m most tempted by the sock yarn in blues or purples.
I like the Rios in Polar Morn, yum!

I love Worsted in any color…’cause all of the colors are delicious!
My fave Malabrigo yarn is Malabrigo sock and my top three fave colors are Terracotta #802, Botticelli Red #801, and Chocolate Amargo #812
I’ve never used Malabrigo. I’d love to try some of the worsted. There are too many to pick 3 favorites but the browns are calling me, especially the rich chocolate.
I love the Silky Merino. I’m using it to make a lovely, lovely baby set. My favorite 3 colorways…ah, at least for the moment it’s indiecita, stonechat, and oh dear piedras (gorgeous!).
Hard to choose just three–solis, aguas and azules would be three I’d pick today. Tomorrow I sure will be three others.
I’ve only admired Malabrigo from afar, but I’d love to try any of the lines – they look so wonderful. For the solids, I really like the Blue Graphite in the Worsted. Lovely!
I love Pashmina and Vintage in any Gwen color way.

I’ve not had the luck to try Malabrigo yet, as I don’t have a local yarn store that stocks it. Hopefully one day I will.
I like the look of the Ravelry Red, Ochre and Cordoven in sockweight to knit a Daybreak shawl.
Dreaming…
Ooops. Forgot to add my Rav ID in case it was needed– LunarHime on Ravelry.
I’m a fan of all the bases – but especially twist. In lettuce. abril. violetas. lettuce. azul profundo. cumparsita. lettuce. indiecita. archangel. and lettuce.
I’ve wanted some carrot for ever – perhaps to go with lettucs?
Malabrigo Chunky is my ultimate comfort-knitting yarn. I love the colors Fuchsia, Ravelry Red, and Tuareg.
I love Malabrigo Rios. Ohhhh I guess my top three would include Azul profundo, Azules, and Paris Night. I really love them all though.
I like the merino in 1. azelea, 2. paris night, and 3 purple magic
I love malabrigo lace in Stone Blue, Tortuga and Emerald
sewsable on Rav
I think I’m in love with Sock 🙂 I have a love of sock yarn and I think I need to have a bigger affair with it.
Colors? Yes, I like those…I shy away from reds, oranges, and yellows (and various shades thereof, like pink) but I don’t say “no” to them. I love blues, greens, purples, greys, and that whole color scheme.
~ Renee (renny1780 on ravelry)
It’s a toss up between silky merino and worsted, however, my current fave colors are manzanilla olive, azul azul, and lettuce.
My favorite colorways have to be glazed carrot, lettuce, and azul bolita. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love the merino worsted! My favorite colors? Ravelry Red, Coco and Dusty Olive.
Rios is my favorite! Colors? Solis, Glazed Carrot, and Teal Feather…
I haven’t had the opportunity to use this yarn yet, but I love the colors int the pictures.
Love Rios- Azul Profundo, verdes and Archangel! Love any malabrigo!
I’ve never had the chance to use Malabrigo 😦 but of the worsted there are some really beautiful colors I’d love to try. I like the Hollyhock, Jacinto, and the Sapphire Magenta (just to name a few, there are so many pretty colors!
I have always loved the lime/blue worsted-then I got some Bobby Blue silky merino for a cowl and love that as well.
Silky Merino and Sock and Twist in every possible color.
I’ve only had the chance to knit with the lace yarn – a citron shawl, one of my favorite handknits! – and the colorways I spend the most time longing for are Verdes, Lime Blue, and Cosecha!
Tosh Sock is my favorite in colors: Olivia, Norway Spruce and Betty Draper’s Blue. This yarn washes up so well and becomes soft like cashmere!

Lately i have been lovin rios because of the superwash
my favorite colors are
ravelry red
purple mystery
arco iris*** i want to find a good sweater pattern for this color
I love Malabrigo worsted! Right now Polvoriento, Uva and Black Forest are my favorites but really I love them all. I somehow always manage to “need” just one more skein whenever I go to the yarn store 🙂
I’ll confess to having had a recent, brief, love affair with Rasta, but my True Love is worsted. If I MUST choose only three colors, then Sauterne, Molly, and Tuareg would go to the top of my list.
My LYS has trouble keeping Malabrigo in stock, and lets us know on a Rav group post when a new shipment comes in.
I am only familar with the Malabrigo Sock yarn, so I guess it is my favorite. I love blues like Caribeno or Persia or Aguas.
I’ve not had the good fortune to work with Malabrigo yarn as of yet because I don’t have a LYS in my area – but I love their colorways! My top three would be Hollyhock, Azul Bolita and Amoroso.
My favourite yarn is Sock and my top three colours (not necessarily in order) are Botticelli Red, Chocolate Amargo, and Persia.
I love Merino Worsted and I love all the colors! But, what I love at the moment are Cuarzo, Bijou Blue, and Pale Khaki. So hard to pick!
I was fondling the Malabrigo at the LYS today! Blues all the way for me – my favorites are Stone Blue, Jewel Blue and Blue Surf.
Sock!! in Archangel, Velvet Grapes and Primavera.
I am a newer knitter and I have not yet had the pleasure of using Malabrigo yarn. (although I hear it all the rage) I think I woukd try it in a sock yarn first and anything bright.

I love fall colors and worsted yarn!
I love to use Malabrigo silky. Current faves are blackberry, Matisse blue and spring water.
Rav: Rainmomma
My favourite is Malabrigo worsted. I love the Jacinto, Fuscia and Azul Profundo colours the best.
My favorite Malabrigo yarn (so far!) is Chunky. My top three colors are 246 Hummingbird, 44 Geranio, and 186 Buscando Azul, though I must admit that the three pictured here in this post would be hard to top for this coming spring. Thanks for the giveaway! I’m gkgreen on Ravelry.
I’ve only ever knit with the Merino Worsted but I love it for hats – super soft. Hats seem to be a good way to use a single ply yarn, too.
I like the solids and kettle dyes best… The greens call to me (especially Cypress and Lettuce) as do some neutrals (Tortuga!).
I’d love to try some other Malabrigo yarns but it can be hard to find them in stock at shops – they are so popular!
Rios in Piedras, Aguas, and Zarzamora!
Merino worsted is my favorite… I think my favorite colors are Ravelry Red, Azul Bolita, Vermillion
I can always find uses for Malabrigo Worsted. I like Rich Chocolate, Blue Graphite, and Cabernet.
I love Pearl 10, Alpine Pearl, Polar Morn, Paris Night, Rich Chocolate, Velvet Grapes…shall I go on? I LOVE Malabrigo!
Right now I have Malabrigo Chunky in a burgandy waiting to get onto needles for a sweater so that would be my favorite. Love it.
I haven’t knit a project with Malabrigo, yet. I have a small amount of worsted that I like to pet, though. And the colors, so many beautiful colors. I’d have to say my favorites are Cadmium, Vermillion and Apple Green.

I like worsted and sock – yummy yarns!
I like worsted and sock – yummy yarns!
Seriously? I’m supposed to pick JUST THREE favorites? Is that even possible??? For a favorite weight, I’m torn between good old Malabrigo worsted (the single twist) and their beautiful lace-weight – one of my favorite things is a short lace scarf I made out of Charurra. Last spring my favorite was Sapphire Magenta, but that was only after a looooooooong debate with myself, poring over colorway on the Malabrigo site. But really, I don’t think I could only pick three – from their tonals like Sealing Wax or Azul Profundo to the variegateds (Charrura!!) like Noviembre or Plena – they are all just too beautiful for words. Seriously.
I really think the worsted weight yarn is just GORGEOUS.
I love the lace. It’s so soft! Jaen, snow bird and cadmium all are calling my name.

They’re all great, but I’m a worsted devotee. Color is hard- I think… Frank Ochre, Glitter, and Dusty.
Rav- alextinsley, twitter- alex_tinsley
my favorite is malabrigo sock in lettuce, terracotta, & tiziano red. Ravelry: mskimba Twitter:mizkimba
I love Malabrigo Worsted and have made some wonderful scarves from it. My favorite color is Sealing Wax, but I also like Black and the glazed Carrots is very pretty too!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I love Mal Sock yarn. It is difficult to choose just 3 colors,but if I have to choose, then it would be Impressionist Sky, Lettuce and Terracotta.

apparently i chose different colors too.
My favorite yarn is Silky Merino. Top 3 colors are Lettuce, Archangel and Aquas

Great giveaway!
My favorite line is Twist, and my three top colorways are:
Stonechat
Indiecta
Liquidambar
My favorite hat that I have is Alex Tinsley’s FooFoo Beret that I did in Mal Twist Stonechat… it’s SO WARM!!
Although I have heard wonderful things about Malabrigo yarn I have never had an opportunity to use it so I don’t know which one I would like. My favorite colors are those of the ocean, blues, and greens.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Worsted is my favorite of the yarns I’ve used, but I haven’t tried Twist, which could be my fav! 😉
I love the silky merino and the lace – any color in the pink family is perfect. Especially loving cactus flower.
Love their sock yarn, top colours are: Lettuce, Solis, Indiecita
Corinne (corinnesknits on Ravelry)
I’ve only used one Malibrigo yarn – sock in the Aquus colorway which was an absolute pleasure. I would love to try Rasta or the merino worsted. The colors are amazing Violeta Africana, Archangel, and of course Ravelry Red. Rav amchart
Oh malabrigo. I love the worsted in tuareg. In fact, I’ve made multiple projects with it. The sock base in Ravelry Red has also been quite lovely. Just the right shade of red. I’m also quite partial to glazed carrot in worsted, as orange is a wardrobe staple of mine.
I knit a scarf with Malabrigo Gruesa in Tuscan Sky and I love it. Quick to knit and warm, warm, warm!
I’ve also never had the pleasure of mmmmalabrigo yarns but I hear very good things and I would most like to try thier sock yarn.
I like solid/semi solids so I would go for Lettuce, Terracotta, and Impressionist Sky.
(I also love the Violetta Africana but I already have some purple yarn in stash)

Malabrigo Aquarella is such a awesome Yarn, solis, yi and indi are my favorite colors. But Teal Feather, Azul Profundo and ravelry red of Rasta are pretty cool, too.

My favorite Malabrigo yarn? ALL OF IT! But I suppose if pressed I could say Chunky, and the colors would be Stonechat, Pagoda and every shade of blue – especially Azul Profundo. Thanks for all the generous giveaways, and even more for the great e-zine. I can be emailed thru my blogger profile
