Sock

Malabrigo Sock

Some yarns earn a cult following. Malabrigo Sock is one of them — and once you've squished a skein, you'll understand why.

Spun from 100% superwash merino and kettle-dyed in Peru, this fingering-weight beauty has a soft hand and a subtle sheen that makes every stitch look luminous. The colorways range from quiet, sophisticated tonals to saturated showstoppers, so there's something here whether you're a neutrals person or you can't resist a little drama.

Don't let the name box you in. Yes, it makes gorgeous socks. But knitters reach for this one again and again for shawls, shawlettes, lightweight scarves, baby knits, and delicate colorwork. It's a workhorse that doesn't look like one.

Superwash means easy care, too — toss it in on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry.
