Yes, that subject is worthy of many exclamation points, as it's been nearly two years since Malabrigo released their last batch of colors on Sock, which was just a handful... and then another three years before that that we received a nice sized batch of new selections. So, of course, this collection of a dozen new colors is certainly "exclamation point worthy!!!"
Here are all 12 of them. Some might look familiar because they have been available on other bases like Arroyo or Mechita and just now have been optimized for Sock. Some are brand spankin' new hues. Keep in mind that I take new photos with each batch we receive, so this is what the skeins look like today. If you see this post a few months/years after today and want to see what these skeins look like, always go by what our website shows, as those are accurate for the hand dyed skeins we actually have in stock.
131 Sand Bank
Want to win three skeins of Malabrigo Sock of your own? Just tell us what three you'd like and please do share if there's something in particular you'd like to knit with it (the three colors are required, but the pattern idea is not required for the contest.... we just like your inspiration!). Leave us one comment here on the blog by noon EST on Friday, June 29 and we will randomly choose one winner for those three skeins! Thanks for playing!
Kris, Teal Feather, and Flavia are my choices. Would love to make a shawl or sweater.

Posted by: Dana | June 26, 2018 at 06:07 PM
I love them ALL!
Fucsia, Cian & Matisse... wow,

Posted by: Karen | June 26, 2018 at 06:08 PM
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh! I love Malabrigo yarn! Indonesia, Kris and Teal Feather are my favs.
Posted by: Debra Facciolo | June 26, 2018 at 06:08 PM

Posted by: Janet Godshalk | June 26, 2018 at 06:08 PM
Fuschia, Indonesia and Polar Morn. Socks, fingerless mitts and cowl.
Posted by: Rose Birchall | June 26, 2018 at 06:09 PM
I don't have sweater quantity of any fingering weight and think a tonal might night not require alternating skeins so....Teal Feather
and I'll buy a fourth skein to have enough
Posted by: Diane | June 26, 2018 at 06:14 PM
Matisse Blue, Teal Feather, and Cian, I think, to make something oceany.

Kriss, teal feather and polar moon for multi color
shawl or poncho
Posted by: Brenda Souders | June 26, 2018 at 06:29 PM
So many beautiful colorways - Indonesia, Matisse blue, etc. - but if I had to choose it'd be the Cirrus Gray I'm swooning over for either a custom swing tank/tee or a Henley style bodysuit. Funnily enough I one had a Cirrus car in a silvery gray.
Posted by: Christine | June 26, 2018 at 06:35 PM
Polar Morn, Forteleza, and Teal Feather would be my choices to maybe knit a Stephen West design.
Posted by: MarthaO | June 26, 2018 at 06:41 PM

Indonesia and Teal Feather for something brioche, and Frank Ochre for pretty patterned socks :) Thank you for the giveaway!
Posted by: Stefanie | June 26, 2018 at 07:03 PM
I would love Indonesia for a Copilot Cowl. Teal Feather and Kris would be stunning for Stella by Janina Kallio.
Posted by: Alyce | June 26, 2018 at 07:08 PM
Easy decision because I can’t stop drooling: Indonesia, Forteleza(sp?) and sand bank.
Posted by: Jennifer Cameron | June 26, 2018 at 07:16 PM

Posted by: Lorie Konopka | June 26, 2018 at 07:35 PM
722 Fortaleza; 412 Teal Feather; 415 Matisse Blue. I have a number of 3 color patterns in my library and I'm sure these will be quite nice together or with the addition of more colors! Malabrigo is super yarn!
Posted by: Martina | June 26, 2018 at 07:37 PM
Indonesia, Kris & Matisse Blue would make a wonderful round drapey sweater.
Posted by: margot | June 26, 2018 at 07:43 PM
I love the frank ochre, sand bank, and Flavia. I have just started making socks so would love to experiment with fancier patterns.
Posted by: Kristy | June 26, 2018 at 07:43 PM

Posted by: JoDee | June 26, 2018 at 07:52 PM

Indonesia, Kris, & Teal Feather! Not sure what project but I think Kris & Teal a feather would make a gorgeous shawl if the colors match as well in person as they do on the computer screen 😍. Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Sarah Sloan | June 26, 2018 at 08:04 PM
I’ve found even more reasons to love malabrigo! The new colors are amazing.
Posted by: Laura Sonnee | June 26, 2018 at 08:04 PM
I would like Fucsia and Polar Morn to make Joji's new sock pattern and Indonesia to make Martina Behm's Wolkig. I have already made two of them and I would love to make another.

Posted by: Donna | June 26, 2018 at 08:30 PM
Love, love, love!!! I wouldn’t kick any of them out of my knitting bag... I like Polar Morn for a lightweight cardigan; Indonesia for a bright and happy shawl; and Flavia for just about anything! You have way too many temptations for me. 😛
Posted by: Carol | June 26, 2018 at 08:43 PM
Indonesia, Fortanesia, Teal Feather
Posted by: Alecia | June 26, 2018 at 08:51 PM
Kris, teal feather and Flavia would make a lovely faded shawl...
Posted by: Carolyn | June 26, 2018 at 08:57 PM

Posted by: Lara | June 26, 2018 at 09:13 PM
Sabiduria, Indonesia and Flavia with others to make a 2nd Ave wrap by Amy Miller. Beautiful!

Polar Morn to knit Joji cathedral wrap
Posted by: Birgit Rosenberg | June 26, 2018 at 09:22 PM
Wow - all my sort of colors except Frank Ochre - I'm going to have a hard time choosing. Fortaleza, Teal Feather and Fucsia are my favorites right this minute but that could change several times before you pick a winner!
Thanks for the opportunity
Posted by: Cheryl | June 26, 2018 at 09:22 PM
I love Indonesia, Frank Ochre, and Cirrus Grey. They are all so striking. As for what I will do with them, my intention is to create gorgeous shawlettes so that I can supplement my income and make others feel happy with a gorgeous new accessory. Currently medical complications prevent me from working a full time job :/
Posted by: Hannah | June 26, 2018 at 09:40 PM
I love Frank Ochre, Cirrus Gray and Polar Morn, and I might combine them into a Goldfish Memory. I’m not sure there would be enough contrast but they are beautiful!
Posted by: KimW | June 26, 2018 at 09:43 PM
I. Love. Malabrigo.
Kris, Teal Feather, and Polar Morn, but they are all just gorgeous! I also like the bolder colors like Flavia but you said 3 so... :)
I don't know what I would make but I know I would enjoy making it!
Posted by: Ann Tucker | June 26, 2018 at 09:46 PM
Indonesia, Flavia and Teal Feather for a shawl of course! 😜💕
Posted by: Carrie Heckman | June 26, 2018 at 09:50 PM

Posted by: Ludistitcher | June 26, 2018 at 11:37 PM
Ohmigosh Malabrigo sock yarn. 😍 I don’t need more sock yarn but I think I need to get more sock yarn! One must be prepared for the apocalypse, amiright?? (Love the Indonesia color!)
Posted by: Julie Jantz | June 26, 2018 at 11:45 PM
I would love to knit a shawl with Indonesia, Fortaleza and Matisse Blue.. This is one of my favorite knit yarns, it is light, soft and looks great.
Posted by: Karen Hirschfeld | June 26, 2018 at 11:59 PM
Kris, Teal Feather and Flavia would make an awesome fade shawl!
Posted by: Mary M | June 26, 2018 at 11:59 PM

Velvet Grape, Chocolate, and Anivers-a to make a fade sweater.
Posted by: Wendy Chase | June 27, 2018 at 12:12 AM
I love Teal Feather, Kris, and Sand Bank, but I wouldn't say no to any of them! They are all so gorgeous!
Posted by: Francine | June 27, 2018 at 12:46 AM
Matisse Blue, Teal Feather, and Fortaleza not sure which 3 color shawl pattern I would choose.
Posted by: Teresa Knittingdancer | June 27, 2018 at 12:54 AM
Polar Morn, teal feather and Flavia! polar morn for Micromitra beaded sox and teal feather and flavia for mom-daughter jelly roll sox. the patterns are as spectacular as the yarn is.
Posted by: ritainalaska | June 27, 2018 at 12:55 AM
Indonesia, Flavia, and Polar Morn. No idea yet what I would do with them.
Posted by: Carol | June 27, 2018 at 12:58 AM
I think Pearl, Teal Feather and Kris for a shawl, but I don't know which pattern.
Posted by: Beverly J White | June 27, 2018 at 12:58 AM
Frank Ochre, Teal Feather and Indonesia...I'm sure I could come up with a great shawl pattern for these...or socks...one can never have too many hand knit socks!
Posted by: carol fun | June 27, 2018 at 01:06 AM
Indonesia, Teal Feather and Fortaleza
Posted by: Brandie | June 27, 2018 at 01:07 AM
Three skeins of cirrus gray would be my first preference, but for three separate colors I'd go for cirrus gray, kris, and polar morn
Posted by: Lee | June 27, 2018 at 01:21 AM
Kris, Teal Feather, and Frank Ochre would be my picks. I adore teal with a mustardy yellow, and Kris’ verdigris-like teal and copper would look really interesting with it.
I’d probably make a rectangular wrap or credscent shaped shawl with them.
Posted by: Megan | June 27, 2018 at 01:23 AM
Frank Ochre - Maltese Blue - Cain. All of the colors are gorgeous and it was hard to choose just 3.
