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.
009 Polar Morn
722 Fortaleza
725 Kris
412 Teal Feather
724 Flavia
415 Matisse Blue
683 Cian
035 Frank Ochre
845 Cirrus Gray
093 Fucsia
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!
Fortaleza, Teal feather and fuschia! Pretty sure I would make a shawl, probably one by Joji Locatelli:). These yarns would be inspiring to make a big lovely shawl!

Such a hard decision... all beautiful!!! The 3 I'de choose are: Fortaleza, Cirrus Gray + Teal Feather. Some sort of wrap/ shawl, perhaps a fade w/ some mosaic to blend? Hard to tell until you actually cuddle the yarn.... although your pics are great.

Indonesia, Fortalezea, and Teal Feather.
What I'd make? Socks. I'd probably use the Teal Feather on the October/November Solid Socks mystery knitalong.

These colors!! I would work a Submarine Shawl using teal feather, flavia, and sand.

Polar morn, Matisse blue, and Cirrus gray would totally knock my socks off!
Posted by: Dorianne Gutierrez | June 28, 2018 at 12:35 PM
Kris, Flavia & Cirrus Gray. I'd make 3 lovely pairs of socks with the always-gorgeous Malabrigo Sock!
Posted by: Susan Ipavec | June 28, 2018 at 01:10 PM
Sand Bank, Fucsia, and Cian. They are gorgeous. Malabrigo is my favorite yarn.
Posted by: Susanne | June 28, 2018 at 01:40 PM
Frank Ochre, Cirrus Gray, & Fucsia are always gorgeous!! I'm always changing my mind as to what to do with these yarns, but most likely, I'll dive into some snuggly sweater for our cool summer nights ;).

I love Polar Morn, Indonesia, and Flavia. I would probably pair Polar Morn and Flavia with brighter variegated yarns in my stash in for shawls, and Indonesia with a tonal yarn in my stash for another shawl, but not sure which ones yet. Thanks for the chance, these are all beautiful!
Posted by: Jeri Jahns | June 28, 2018 at 02:12 PM
Indonesia, Flavia, and Cirrus Grey would make lovely socks! ❤️

I would love to have any combination of three. I would even let you choose. I love to knit socks and shawls. I’m sure I could find a use for all.

Posted by: Davida Hinton | June 28, 2018 at 03:15 PM
I would love to work with cian, fortaliza, and indonesia. I would be torn between a shawl or socks.

I’d love to turn Water Green, Natural, and Frank Ochre into a Yemaya shawl by Ambah O’Brien
Posted by: Linsey | June 28, 2018 at 04:02 PM

Posted by: Patti Gibson | June 28, 2018 at 04:41 PM
I'd love Polar Moon, Flavia, and Kris. They'd definitely go toward a faded shawl.
Posted by: Dezarae McMillan | June 28, 2018 at 04:41 PM
I love Sand Bank, Frank Ochre and Cirrus Gray. I would make a cowl.
Posted by: Mary Harting | June 28, 2018 at 05:38 PM
I’d totally like the polar moon, Flavia & teal feather. I think it’d be cool to do the Free Your Fade wrap/shawl with it.

Thank you for a chance at some beautiful yarn. I would choose Polar Morn, Indonesia and Teal Feather.
Posted by: Sarah | June 28, 2018 at 06:27 PM
Fuchsia, Indonesia, and Matisse Blue would be my favorites. I love making lace shawls with Malibrigo sock yarn.
Posted by: Barb Johnson | June 28, 2018 at 07:08 PM
I really love them ALL so, choosing is difficult!
PLOMO. So dreamy. I would make socks with a rhythmic pattern.
FRESCO y SEC. Celebratory and springlike. Socks—dressy or simply, happy!
ALCAUCIL. Socks with lots of texture. Or, Possibly Beth Brown-
Reinsel’s Swedish Sock Pattern
Posted by: Janice Vrana | June 28, 2018 at 07:33 PM
Kris, teal feather & flavia. Im thinking a pretty shawl....
Posted by: Sue Kieft | June 28, 2018 at 07:49 PM
All gorgeous but really like Kris, Teal Feather and Flavia.
Posted by: Marlene B | June 28, 2018 at 08:38 PM
Hard to choose as all their colors are to die for! I especially like Teal Feather, Clan and Fucsia. I'm thinking a Steven West design would make good use of these colors!
Posted by: Laura Nixon | June 28, 2018 at 08:59 PM
Indonesia (my best friend from university is from there), Teal Feather, and Cirrus Gray. Gloves or fingerless mitts with Indonesia so I could look at the colors while I wear them; a hat with Teal Feather; socks with Cirrus Gray.
Posted by: Mary Anne | June 28, 2018 at 10:06 PM
my favorites are#845 cirrus gray #725 kris and #412 teal feather I think these would make a lovely shawl
Posted by: Debbie Glass | June 28, 2018 at 10:12 PM
I'd pick Fortaleza, Teal Feather, and Indonisia.
Posted by: Jeanne Bush | June 28, 2018 at 10:44 PM
Fortaleza, Indonesia, and Flavia are my faves -- I would knit a sweater out of any of those colors!
Posted by: Ellen | June 29, 2018 at 12:57 AM
Sandbank Flavia and Indonesia are my favorite 3 colors. I would make socks for my hubby from.Sandbank using one of Nancy Bush's Heritage sock patterns. He would choose when he saw the yarn. Flavia would be a sock for me using one of Charlene Schurch's patterns from her first book and Indonesia I would use for a shawl. It is soooo gorgeous. I have thumb arthritis and can knit for hours on square needles. I do socks on square dpns 1.5 is my usual choice and wooden needles are warmer so.preferred over metal dpns.I would use a circular square wooden needle for the shawl. It would be a treasure. I hope I get picked!!! It would be a huge blessing for me. Roxane Telesha
Posted by: Roxane Telesha | June 29, 2018 at 02:50 AM
Fortaleza, Indonesia and Kris call to me.
Posted by: Kathleen Haynes | June 29, 2018 at 03:00 AM

Posted by: Cindy Widner | June 29, 2018 at 09:44 AM
Flavia, Teal Feather, and Indonesia. Not sure what I'd make, but there is always socks!
Posted by: Lisa | June 29, 2018 at 09:50 AM
I would love the Fortaleza, Indonesia and flavia. Not sure that I would use all 3 together, but I would make a wrap.
Posted by: Rhonda Shank | June 29, 2018 at 04:29 PM
Such gorgeous colors.
Posted by: Cecilia David | June 29, 2018 at 06:27 PM
Cirrus Grey, Frank Ochre, and Fuschia...For a big, wonderful shawl!
Posted by: Linda J. Wilson | June 29, 2018 at 06:43 PM
Oh my goodness, Indonesia!! I think I'd use one skein of that and to of Teal Feather to knit a Dreambird shawl. I'm making my first Dreambird right now with some handspun silk, but it won't be the last. It's such a fun pattern, I'm already looking forward to my second!
Posted by: Kara | June 29, 2018 at 07:28 PM
Pick 3 colors, not so easy, Kris is one, my husband said Sand bank and last is real feather.
Posted by: Laura Johnston | June 29, 2018 at 08:19 PM
