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!
Difficult choice! But if a choice must be made... Fortaleza, Sand Bank and Cirrus Grey. I'm thinking the Danzig shawl for the first two and the new Joji wrap for the grey:-))

Kris is my favorite, I have knit socks for years and now expanding to shawls which I think this would look fab. ,love this yarn u have very nice colors.
Posted by: Evelyn Baxter | June 27, 2018 at 02:38 AM
Cirrus Grey, Indonesia and Polar Moon! I would have to give some thought to a pattern though... off to read other comments!
Posted by: Ashley W | June 27, 2018 at 03:15 AM
722 Fortaleza, 412 Teal Feather, and 093 Fucsia are the three that I choose to use for a color-blended summer wrap. Thanks for the giveaway! ☺️🍀💞

I like Indonesia, Maltese Blue and Citrus Gray! Such pretty colors!
Posted by: Kathy Turnzo | June 27, 2018 at 05:21 AM
I would pick 2 skeins of Indonesia with 1 skein of Matisse Blue for the shawl listed below which is on Ravelry. My knitting guild is hoping to do a KAL.

I like Polar Morn, Kris and Flavia. I just want to admire them in my stash until inspiration hits...
Posted by: yolanda | June 27, 2018 at 05:42 AM
Indonesia, teal feather, and polar mom would be my picks for an Oscillate shawl!
Posted by: Corinna Ferro | June 27, 2018 at 05:45 AM
Thank you for asking for three, because I couldn't have narrowed it down to just one! I love Cirrus Gray, Polar Morn, and Kris.
Posted by: Caitlin A | June 27, 2018 at 06:54 AM
Live all of them!! A fadey shaw would be lovely
Posted by: Christina Reber | June 27, 2018 at 07:09 AM
Polar Morn, Matisse Blue and Flavia are my favorites!
Posted by: Jody | June 27, 2018 at 07:16 AM
The yarn color Flavia would make a beautiful shawl by Joji Lococatelli!!
Posted by: Antonia Jensen | June 27, 2018 at 07:22 AM
Indonesia, Matisse Blue and Polar Morn. The Indonesia is a must for socks for my mom - it will match the vest I am knitting her perfectly! Maybe the other two for some two color socks or shawlette/scarf. hmmmm - the possibilities are endless. Thank you!
Posted by: amy g | June 27, 2018 at 08:06 AM
Ooh, those multis are incredible! I still think I'd have to go with Cyan, Fucia, and Frank Ochre, and make something big and bright.
Posted by: Diane | June 27, 2018 at 08:25 AM
I love working with Malabrigo, and would have to go with Cirrus Gray, Polar Morn, and Kris. I don't know if I have thanked you before, but i really appreciate the effort you put in to take new pictures each time you get new yarn in stock! I have had several experiences of ordering yarn that looked nothing like what I actually received. So THANK YOU again!!!
Posted by: Kristi | June 27, 2018 at 08:55 AM
Kris, Teal feather, and Flavia. Perhaps for a three color shawl or cowl or possibly in a fade type sweater.
Posted by: Kelliinkc | June 27, 2018 at 09:05 AM
They are all so pretty. I think Kris, Teal Feather and Flavia would be my pick. Thinking a shawl.
Posted by: Lynn B. | June 27, 2018 at 09:09 AM

I think diana, light love and kris
Posted by: jeanne | June 27, 2018 at 10:48 AM
I love the look of Water Green, Lotus Lot 2, and velvet Grape together. I have been wanting to try brioche knitting and I think these colours would work great.
Posted by: Susan | June 27, 2018 at 11:08 AM
Flavia, Teal Feather, and Kris would make a stunning Free Your Fade!
Posted by: Niki vogler | June 27, 2018 at 11:15 AM
Frank Ochre is my #1. Also Sand Bank and Cirrus Gray.
Posted by: Anne Marie | June 27, 2018 at 11:47 AM
I would work on a shawl with the following colors: Teal Feather, Flavia and Violeta Afri
Posted by: Kelly | June 27, 2018 at 12:03 PM
Indonesia, Matisse Blue, and Frank Ochre are all so gorgeous!
Posted by: Emily M | June 27, 2018 at 12:04 PM
Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd make with them but Fucsia, Cian, and Matisse Blue are some of the most beautiful yarn colors I've seen!
Posted by: Amanda Z | June 27, 2018 at 12:07 PM
I'd love to put Polar Morn, Teal Feather and Frank Ochre into some kind of a shawl project together.
Posted by: fishgirl182 | June 27, 2018 at 12:08 PM
Cian, cirrus gray & polar morn
Posted by: Cindy | June 27, 2018 at 12:33 PM
Cirrus Gray, Flavia and Kris
Posted by: Judy | June 27, 2018 at 12:33 PM
oooh- they are all sooo pretty but top three would be Cirrus Gray, Frank Ochre and Polar Morn!
These would definitely get me through summer sock knitting!
Posted by: Nicole Bell | June 27, 2018 at 12:54 PM
Indonesia, Matisse and Cian would make an awesome little tee or shrug.
Posted by: Beth | June 27, 2018 at 12:55 PM
No idea on the project, maybe a Timely Cardigan...I like the look of Solis, Persia, and Indonesia. And Whales.
Posted by: Sarah R | June 27, 2018 at 12:58 PM
Lettuce, Frank Ochre and cereza
Posted by: Natalie | June 27, 2018 at 12:58 PM
Kris, Flavia and Tailfeather! Definitely a shawl but not sure what pattern. The colors are beautiful
Posted by: Anne | June 27, 2018 at 01:06 PM
Kris, Teal Feather and Polar Morn would make a gorgeous 3 color cashmere shawl (Joji Locatelli's)
wahoomerryf on Rav
Posted by: Marilyn Fenton | June 27, 2018 at 01:06 PM
Fortaleza, Teal Feather and Mastise Blue
Posted by: Deb Miller | June 27, 2018 at 01:17 PM
I'd use Cirrus Gray, Flavia and Polar Morn - I think I would make a sweater using pointillism style color change to create an ombre look
Posted by: Andrea Brooks | June 27, 2018 at 01:20 PM
i like the look of water green, kris, and flavia but if I was buying them I would call the shop and ask for a visual opinion first. Your pictures are the best I have ever seen for an online shop, but I still don't trust my eyes on the screen alone.
Wish you were local to me!
Posted by: mary cronk | June 27, 2018 at 01:29 PM
Instead of three different colors I would love three of one color, OCHRE, to make a Boxy. Thanks for the opportunity. Love Malabrigo💕
Posted by: June | June 27, 2018 at 02:24 PM
Hmmm Definitely Flavia. i'm so in love with that colorway. And teal feather and hmmm. Polar Morn. I'm not usually a girl who gushes over tonals or neutrals ;) but I like these.
As for a project, hmmm, I'm not sure other than the Flavia and Teal Feather need to be chunked together, in a shawl of some sort. I've been wanting to try brioche and I think those two together would be amazing. And the Polar morn--I just want a bas lacey textured scarf in a plainer tonal, and that grey is to die for!
Posted by: Joanna Mull | June 27, 2018 at 03:27 PM
I think all 3 in cirrus grey would make a lovely tee!
Posted by: Lisa | June 27, 2018 at 03:51 PM
Polar Mom, Cirrus gray and Frank Ochre!
Posted by: raquel | June 27, 2018 at 04:53 PM
Of the new ones? Kris, Teal Feather, and Cirrus Gray would be my top choices. They're all so pretty!
I don't know whether I'd combine them or use them for single-colour projects.
Posted by: Nicole S | June 27, 2018 at 05:22 PM
Cirrus Gray, Fuschia and Sand Bank are the ones calling my name. No defined project yet but they will fill the hope stash.
Posted by: Judy | June 27, 2018 at 05:27 PM
I’d love to pair the Polar Morn and Teal Feather up in a two color wrap, and I think the Matisse Blue would make a stunning cowl!
Posted by: Heather A. | June 27, 2018 at 05:56 PM
I LOVE all the colors, particularly 723 Indonesia, 722 Fortaleza and 683 Cian. They would be gorgeous in some sort of Casapinka shawl or cowl
Posted by: Linda V | June 27, 2018 at 05:57 PM
Kris, Teal Feather, and Flavia would make a lovely gradient for a Nurmilintu Wrap!
Posted by: Anne Sexton | June 27, 2018 at 06:16 PM
I would absolutely love Flavia! Ive been wanting to knit a granito by joji for ages and that would be lovely!
Posted by: jenn h | June 27, 2018 at 07:22 PM
I would use Kris ,cirrus gray and flavia together. Problably some type of wrap. Not sure yet but I'm sure I would find an appropriate pattern. They just look really awesone together
Posted by: susan konczal | June 27, 2018 at 08:18 PM
Aguas, Primavera and Dewberry. Soooo beautiful, all of them!
Posted by: Sue | June 27, 2018 at 09:03 PM
Cirrus gray, fortelezza and polar morn. Not sure what I would knit yet.. they would need to be drooled over until I found the perfect pattern! :-)
Posted by: Arianne | June 27, 2018 at 09:07 PM
I love Kris, Matisse Blue, and Cirrus Gray!
Posted by: Laurie | June 27, 2018 at 09:08 PM
Polar Morn, Cirrus Gray. and Whales Road
Posted by: Bonnie | June 27, 2018 at 09:24 PM
I am currently knitting a Find Your Fade, and have Free Your Fade in my queue (but no stash yarn for it yet!). I would love to use Indonesia, Kris, and Flavia. Wow!
Posted by: Angie | June 27, 2018 at 10:01 PM
Indonesia, Matisse Blue, and Cirrus Grey. I would use them for a shawl.
Posted by: Carolyn Zewe | June 27, 2018 at 10:35 PM
Cian, Kris, and Polar Morn.
Posted by: PamelaRic | June 27, 2018 at 10:39 PM
Fortaleza, Teal Feather and Cian for creating matching socks for my teal-loving sister and her toddler. Her entire wedding was teal!
Posted by: Laura Knoke | June 28, 2018 at 12:05 AM
Polar Morn, Matisse Blue and Cian would make a stunning combo in the goldfish shawl.
Posted by: Jennifer | June 28, 2018 at 12:19 AM
Polar Mom, Teal Feather and Flavia.
Posted by: Susan | June 28, 2018 at 05:55 AM

Posted by: Cindy h. | June 28, 2018 at 09:13 AM
All very beautiful. Top 3 for me include Indonesia, Fortaleza, and Kris.
Posted by: April R. | June 28, 2018 at 09:58 AM
Polar Morn, Teal Feather and Frank Ochre...though it was hard to pick 3 as they are all gorgeous!
Posted by: Lauren | June 28, 2018 at 10:01 AM
Oh how lovely! For me, Matisse Blue, Cirrus Gray, and Indonesia are all fantastic!
Posted by: Deana | June 28, 2018 at 10:02 AM
Kris, Teal Feather and Flavia. I’m not sure yet but maybe The Shift.
Posted by: Scarlet Costello | June 28, 2018 at 10:02 AM
All in Polar Morn - I have a scarf that is just begging to be in gray!
Posted by: grace | June 28, 2018 at 10:03 AM
My favorites are Teal Feather, Indonesia, and Fortaleza! I would certainly use these in a Reyna shawl or socks!!
Posted by: Patty | June 28, 2018 at 10:04 AM
I like Fortelezia just for fun, but Kris and Teal Feather would be lively in a two color fade shawl.
Posted by: Cindy Smith | June 28, 2018 at 10:05 AM
Polar Morn, Matisse Blue, and Cian!
Posted by: Jo | June 28, 2018 at 10:06 AM

Polar morn, flavia, and teal feather.
Posted by: Clare Gieck | June 28, 2018 at 10:13 AM
All 3 in Flavia please.
Posted by: GENEY TERRY | June 28, 2018 at 10:14 AM
Cirus Grey, Flavia and Cian. Two of these for a shawl and one for socks. Lovely contest.
Posted by: Norma Smith | June 28, 2018 at 10:16 AM
I love all of these, but my three choices are Kris, Flavia, and Sandbank.
I've got some Sandbank on Rios and it is lovely! Thank you for posting these new Sock colorways. :)
Posted by: TK | June 28, 2018 at 10:17 AM
Indonesia,teal feather and clan ,I am known for entrelac work and those are gorgeous in a shawl .
Posted by: Barbara Belden | June 28, 2018 at 10:18 AM
Indonesia, Teal Feather and Matisse Blue - for an undetermined item for a friend who spent a year in Indonesia - maybe the Goldfish Memory??
Posted by: Sally BC | June 28, 2018 at 10:20 AM
Indonesia, Flavia, and cyan. They’ll all make outstanding socks!
Posted by: Karen N. | June 28, 2018 at 10:22 AM
Flavia, Teal Feather and Kris are my choices. I think I would make a shawl, maybe one of Melanie Berg’s designs or Andrea Mowry’s.
Posted by: Beverly Davis | June 28, 2018 at 10:27 AM
Thank you for the opportunity to win this beautiful yarn. I just started knitting socks using a Vanilla Sock pattern. I will probably just stick to a basic pattern since I am so new to knitting. The three colorways I would order are:
Polar Morn
Flavia
Kris
Posted by: Lauri Logsdon | June 28, 2018 at 10:27 AM
I keep adding them to my cart to see what I think would look nice in cardigans for my little grandsons, either color-blocked or striped or both. They both love yellow, so Frank Ochre or Ochre. Mommy loves green, so Fresco y Sec. Daddy loves brown so Alcaucil. Brighter versions of the three colors would also be just too cute.
Posted by: sue swartz herr | June 28, 2018 at 10:46 AM
I love them all! Picking 3 of them are Indonesia, Flavia, and Cian. Thank you!
Posted by: Jane Page | June 28, 2018 at 10:50 AM
Indonesia, Teal feather, cirrus grey. Very hard to choose, they are all gorgeous!! And I would use this yarn for weaving. Thank you!!!
Posted by: Martha W | June 28, 2018 at 10:51 AM
Frank Orchre, Polar Moon and Sand Bank!
Posted by: Anne Yampanis | June 28, 2018 at 10:55 AM
Indonesia, Matisse Blue and Fucsia.
Posted by: Deb Adams | June 28, 2018 at 10:58 AM
I love Malabrigo!!! These colors are awesome. My favorites are Kris, Teal Feather and Indonesia.
Posted by: Marilyn Hutchens | June 28, 2018 at 11:04 AM
All three Teal feather, definitely. For A lacey sweater. All the colors are beautiful though.
Posted by: Pam | June 28, 2018 at 11:05 AM
So hard to choose but Kris, Flavia and Matisse blue are my favorites.
Posted by: Karen Ellis | June 28, 2018 at 11:05 AM
Flavia, Teal Feather and Kris makes a nice fade!
Posted by: Robin | June 28, 2018 at 11:08 AM
OMG! The Matisse Blue reminds me of the DMC 995. That was a color I used frequently while cross stitching. Paired with Fuchsia or Frank Ochre would make a "festive" pair of socks.
Posted by: Sarah Michael | June 28, 2018 at 11:13 AM
Kris,Teal Feather, Flavia. For shawl.... maybe Impressionist.... my daughter’s name is Kristin 💛
Posted by: Peg | June 28, 2018 at 11:13 AM
I’m getting ready to cast on my Magnum Sockus project: 12 pairs at once! My custom-made 240” Louet Kollage Square needle has arrived, my patterns are chosen, and I’ll be finishing up my one-of-a-kind SOCKcase this Saturday! All that remains is choosing JUST the right yarn for my patterns!
I think “Spider Socks” will be perfect in Cirrus Gray.
“Spot Check” would be amazing in Indonesia and Teal Feather!
But I love Kris so much, too!!!! Heck! I love them all!
Posted by: Brynn Riordan | June 28, 2018 at 11:23 AM
Oh!! So pretty!
Flavia, Kris, and Teal Feather would be a gorgeous fade type of cowl of necky goodness.
Posted by: Jenna | June 28, 2018 at 11:23 AM
All so gorgeous! If I win (!), getting 3 skeins of Flavia would be my top choice. So that I have enough to make a pretty Joji shawl. (If you prefer giving 3 different colors, I'd love 1 skein each of Flavia, Kris and Polar Morn.) With fingers crossed, I will now click "Post." Thanks for the chance to win!
