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!
The Sand Bank, Flavia, and Indonesia colorways are gorgeous! I would totally knit the Cathedral Wrap by Joji Locatelli out of the Sand Bank colorway.

I love Fucsia, Matisse Blue, and Indonesia. I think they would’ve lively in a colorwork cowl.

Posted by: Brandy Ann Petrick | June 26, 2018 at 02:48 PM

Posted by: Erin Stone | June 26, 2018 at 03:16 PM
Indonesia & Matisse blue (my favorite shade of blue!) Immediately caught my eye and you cant go wrong with a nice gray like Polar Moon. I'm thinking color work would be fun with the Polar Moon and Indonesia...
Posted by: Kaia | June 26, 2018 at 03:18 PM
Indonesia, polar morn and fresco y sec! Would make a great goldfish shawl
Posted by: Colleen D'Allura | June 26, 2018 at 03:19 PM

Posted by: Grechen L Longfellow | June 26, 2018 at 03:49 PM
Fortaleza, teal feather & polar morn, for another Color Affection.
Posted by: Janet Chutro | June 26, 2018 at 03:56 PM
Hummmm......really undecided as to what to make...but Indonesia,Kris and Teal Feather have great possibilities....Thank you for the offer....
Posted by: Louann | June 26, 2018 at 04:00 PM
I've been looking for sock yarn in a solid-ish color way to start a Breathing Space sweater. I just think it looks so flattering for my... um... curves. ;) haha!!! So I'd choose cirrus grey along with flavia.

Flavia, Polar Morn, Cirrus Gray - so many gorgeous colors
Posted by: Rosalind Gibbins | June 26, 2018 at 04:07 PM
Indonesia, Matisse & Flavia. The Indonesia would be so pretty as a contrast color in a colorwork sweater. The other 2 would make beautiful shawls. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Wendy Hughes | June 26, 2018 at 04:09 PM
I would love to make a Landscapes shawl with Cirrus Grey Frank Ochre and Sand Bank 😍😍😍

Cirrus grey, Clan, Teal feather
Posted by: Nicole | June 26, 2018 at 04:28 PM
I think Matisse Blue, Teal Feather, and Fortaleza would be outstanding as a pair of socks and a sockhead hat, using all three colors in a microstripe. Don't you agree?
Posted by: Teri | June 26, 2018 at 04:39 PM
Kris Teal Feather, Flavia.
A three color cashmere cowl from Joji or a My Sisters Shawl from Cozy Up Knits.
Posted by: Julie Vance | June 26, 2018 at 04:42 PM
I don’t know what I’d knit...but something with frank ochre, polar morn and cirrus grey. The blues are also gorgeous!
Posted by: Susan | June 26, 2018 at 04:44 PM
Kris, Teal Feather and Flavia would make a beautiful shawl.
Posted by: JoAnne | June 26, 2018 at 04:49 PM
I would pick Teal Feather and then find a pattern that mimics peacocks. It's just so pretty.
Posted by: Brenna Delosier | June 26, 2018 at 04:55 PM
Cirrus gray, Polar Morn, and Flavia as a fade to make a Tegna or another short sleeved sweater? Also I just really love grey.
Posted by: Kristin | June 26, 2018 at 04:58 PM
Indonesia, Kris (my BFF’s name), and Fortaleza. Probably I’d made a shawl for my bestie!!
Posted by: Emily | June 26, 2018 at 04:59 PM
I think a shawl made with Teal feather, Kris, and Flavia would be Beautiful! No specific pattern in mind as of now, though.
Posted by: Jackie | June 26, 2018 at 05:02 PM
Indonesia, Kris (my daughter's name) and teal feather. I'd probably make socks!!! or sweaters for my grandsons.
Posted by: Anna Marie | June 26, 2018 at 05:03 PM
I would want two of Flavia if possible and one of teal feather to be featured as the body and contrast color in a sunset highway sweater
Posted by: Debjani | June 26, 2018 at 05:03 PM
I love teal feather, cian and fortaleza. I'd probably make socks or a cowl. Malabrigo is my absolute favorite kind of yarn ^_^
Posted by: Aimee | June 26, 2018 at 05:07 PM
Loving Polar Morn, Flavia, and Cirrus Grey! They would make a beautiful fade!!! You’re right, lots of exclamation points needed!!!
Posted by: Tara | June 26, 2018 at 05:07 PM
Kris, Indonesia and Polar Morn ..... knitting Socks, of course!!
Posted by: April | June 26, 2018 at 05:11 PM
I like Polar Morn, Indonesia and Flavia.
Posted by: Terri | June 26, 2018 at 05:11 PM
Kris, Teal Feather and Sandbank would make a great Goldfish shawl.
Posted by: Joyce Gravino | June 26, 2018 at 05:17 PM
Matisse, Indonesia, and Flavia...pretty random, no project in mind besides socks!
Posted by: Geraldine Scott | June 26, 2018 at 05:19 PM
Polar Mon, Flavia and Teal Feather and I would knit the shawl "In the Light."
Posted by: Wendy | June 26, 2018 at 05:20 PM
Ohhhhhh I love them. My picks would be Indonesia, Fortaleza, and Kris. And of course I’d make socks with pretty lace patterns! Swoon!
Posted by: Melanie | June 26, 2018 at 05:20 PM
Kris, teal feather and Flavia. My left over sock yarn I roll into balls and display in a bird cage. Just like to look at all the colors I have used.
Posted by: Sandy C | June 26, 2018 at 05:24 PM
I love fuscia, sand bank, and polar morn. Not sure what I would do with them yet but would be nice tonals to add to other yarns.
Posted by: Amber N | June 26, 2018 at 05:25 PM
I think I would do two polar morn and one Matisse blue for the Siplia sweater by Caitlin Hunter! I feel like the color pop would shine like a diamond!
Posted by: Jasmin | June 26, 2018 at 05:25 PM
Cian, Frank Ochre & Cirrus Gray
:) :) :)
Posted by: Kate Greenwood | June 26, 2018 at 05:25 PM
I can't just choose 3 I keep putting multiple combinations together! But if I had to choose I love the Polar Morn, Forteleza and the Matisse Blue.
Posted by: Heather Jackson | June 26, 2018 at 05:26 PM
I'm loving Indonesia, Kris, and Flavia!
Posted by: Geri Heagy | June 26, 2018 at 05:27 PM
Love all the new colors, but would choose Cian, Matisse Blue, and Polar Morn and do my socks with all 3 doing Helix knitting
Posted by: Jolene Lathum | June 26, 2018 at 05:28 PM
Polar Morn, Flavia, and Sand Bank. Not sure what I would knot — most likely use them in conjunction with stash to do Stephen West type knitting
Posted by: JB Pierce | June 26, 2018 at 05:32 PM
Hooooly cow!! Frank ochre won my heart, followed closely by Matisse Blue and teal feather. I’d probably make a shawl that stripes the first 2 colors, then uses the teal as a border. Something like NBK’s conduit, continua or surge? Or like Merricks by Whiskey Bay Woollens!
Posted by: Leslie | June 26, 2018 at 05:35 PM
I love polar morn, Indonesia, and kris.
Posted by: Labrista | June 26, 2018 at 05:36 PM
Working with your yarn for the first time, it’s so yummy, I can’t wait to buy more, the colors are just so hard to choose from! Such a problem, I know!
Posted by: André Holsomback | June 26, 2018 at 05:36 PM
I love Malabrigo!!! I would choose 3 fun skeins and make another Mix and Mingle Shawl designed by Andrea Mowry. Has anyone made one? They are so fun! I would choose: Kris, Teal Feather, and Flavia for sure. Since the shawl takes one more, I would add in Frank Ochre for a pop of color! Ohhh, will have to buy even if I don't win.
Posted by: Susan Miller | June 26, 2018 at 05:41 PM
Cris, Teal Feather, and Sand Bank for sure! Stunning combo for a shawl!
Posted by: Karen | June 26, 2018 at 05:42 PM
Love the cian, matisse blue and teal feather
Posted by: AJ | June 26, 2018 at 05:42 PM
I still want to make a 3 Color Cashmere Shawl but sans the cashmere. Malabrigo Sock would be perfect for this. Since you provided the link for all sock... I'm lusting for Lettuce, Impressions and Chocolate. :-) ♡
Posted by: BSue | June 26, 2018 at 05:48 PM
Fuchsia, Cirrus gray, and Frank Ochre
Posted by: Lisa Murphy | June 26, 2018 at 05:50 PM
