It’s time for another round of show and tell! Today I’m here to share some finished projects that started life as yarn on our shelves, and they all have one thing in common: they’re all made with yarn from the beloved Uruguayan company Malabrigo.
Carol knit this “Lehigh” shawl with Malabrigo Rios, a soft superwash staple of our worsted weight section.
She chose a high contrast combination that shines in this textured pattern, a neutral semisolid background color punctuated by variegated stripes. Pattern by Melanie Berg.
Katherine also chose Rios for her “Sundial Shawl,” by Monika Anna, another shawl featuring garter stitch stripes, as well as a little bit of brioche on the edging.
Here’s a whimsical way to use colorful Malabrigo yarn – Laroka’s felted “Trout Fishy,” knit with Malabrigo Seis Cabos!
Nancy has been using Malabrigo yarns, among others, to crochet “Floralai,” a richly textured floral block designed by The Floral Hook.
The block above was made with Malabrigo Ultimate Sock, and the block below with Malabrigo Dos Tierras, Fibre Co. Acadia, and Koigu KPPPM.

Many thanks to the talented stitchers who shared the projects above, and to everyone who starts their projects with a trip to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop. We love seeing what you make!
