Gosh, I love when we get a new batch from Malabrigo. Even though they have a specific line up of colors, their variegated hues can look quite different from batch to batch and it's a joy to see what's here. While I do have to take new pictures with each batch that arrives, it's worth the extra work for me, and definitely for those of you who are ordering and might be a bit upset if you're expecting Piedras in Sock to look like the first picture when you're actually getting the second picture.
And FYI, these are two different lots of Piedras that we actually do have in stock at the same time, which is why one is listed as Piedras, while the other is listed as Piedras Bright. See? We do our best to make sure you get something predictable, even given the limitations of hand made products.

What might you want to knit with Malabrigo? Well, all the things, of course. But to be a bit more helpful, how about the Astra Hat and Cowl set by Amba O'Brien shown above. Also the Walk in the Woods shawl which is shown in Rios in Aguas and Natural. I made one a couple years back and adore it.

Don't forget about all the socks! I feel like any sock knitter could use the Sockupied ebook to pair some awesomeness with Malabrigo. Or if you want a lightweight shawl to get you into spring, consider Comme un Air de Printemps (tunisian crochet!) or the popular Multnomah. Or a lightweight sweater like Folded or Ecuador, shown below.

Or combine any three colors into one of Joji's popular cowls.
Have you used Malabrigo recently? If not, get on it! The price is great the colors are gorgeous, and we have a spankin' new batch in stock now. And if you want a chance at winning three skeins of Sock of your own, just tell me in the comments below what three skeins you'd like to win, and I'll randomly choose one comment to win after the contest ends at noon EST on Monday, April 1.
I'd love 3 skeins of blues - Impressionis, Cote D Azure, and Azules. Love all the colors!!!

Archangel, Arco Iris, & Frank Ochre. i LOVE malabrigo!!!
Posted by: Kristi | March 28, 2019 at 09:20 AM
Aniversario, Cereza, and Caribeno - the colors are scrumptious, but they all are! A friend of mine used Aniversario for her granddaughter's shawl, and I've wanted to use that colorway ever since I saw her knitting it. Or perhaps you could choose 3 skeins for me using one or more of those choices to make a fade shawl of some sort? That's on my bucket list to do in the not too distant future, but I'm not good choosing colors to go together.
Posted by: Diane | March 28, 2019 at 09:58 AM
Not an easy choice! I think I'd go with Aguas, Immpressionis, and Polar Morn.
Posted by: Nicole S | March 28, 2019 at 10:17 AM
Water Green (of course!), Natural, and Ochre. You and your silly contests! Now that I've put these together mentally, I'm just going to have to order them. They're to pretty to NOT have!!
Posted by: Linsey | March 28, 2019 at 10:25 AM
Diana, Fresco Y Sec, and Teal Feather
Posted by: Judy | March 28, 2019 at 10:40 AM

Unless you say they won't make a pretty set
Posted by: Diane | March 28, 2019 at 10:49 AM

Posted by: Joyce | March 28, 2019 at 11:18 AM
Candombe, Pocion, Sabiduria are my top picks. So hard to choose, they are all so tempting. I have very much enjoyed my malabrigo knitting!
Posted by: SarahP | March 28, 2019 at 11:21 AM
three skeins of Sock in Ravelry Red would make a lovely pullover for my mom. =) thanks for this chance to win!
Posted by: m | March 28, 2019 at 11:36 AM
Whales Road, Caribeno, Piedras bright are my choices! I have several skeins in my stash and have used some to make a shawl/scarf.
Posted by: Julie K | March 28, 2019 at 11:41 AM
I've never knitted with Malabrigo and would love to try someday. As much as I would like individual colors, I'd go for 3 skeins in Sand Bank to make Caitlin Hunter's Tegna.
Posted by: Tiffany | March 28, 2019 at 11:42 AM
I would choose Teal Feather, Solis, and Impressionis; I envision them transitioning from one to the other
Posted by: Susan | March 28, 2019 at 12:21 PM
I’d love Natural, Cereza and Matisse Blue. I’ve only knit Malabrigo in a worsted or Aran weight, so Sock would be fun! Thank you for the contest!
Posted by: Jan | March 28, 2019 at 01:04 PM
I would have to pick- Sandbox, Aniversio, and Primavera... All lovely colors.
Posted by: Natalie | March 28, 2019 at 01:12 PM
I'd go for Indiecita, Dewberry, and Indonesia. I've knit a sweater in Rios and a pair of socks with Malabrigo Sock.
Posted by: Jeanne Bush | March 28, 2019 at 01:13 PM
Frank Ochre would be my choice
Posted by: Anne Marie Hart | March 28, 2019 at 01:13 PM

Oh yummy Malabrigo! Sand Bank, Plomo, and Diana please!!
Posted by: Coby Hanna-Butler | March 28, 2019 at 02:37 PM
Every comment I read, I think yes, those. Hard to choose. Piedras, violeta and teal feather or maybe 3 azules. Thanks for the contest.
Posted by: Sarah | March 28, 2019 at 02:43 PM
Light Love, Fucsia and Sabiduria! I have used Malabrigo to make some squishy beanies and mitts!

Abril, Diana and Piedras Bright!!!

Dewberry, Piedras Bright, Solis

Posted by: MarthaO | March 28, 2019 at 05:23 PM
I can't decide! I want them all. If I win, surprise me.
Posted by: MarthaO | March 28, 2019 at 05:23 PM
Archangel is always one of my favorite Malabrigo colorways, I love how each batch is different but always beautiful and it makes me want to collect them all, lol. I’m always a sucker for a good Fuscia and that Sabiduria looks very pretty.
Posted by: Aimee | March 28, 2019 at 05:23 PM
Anyone looking at my stash would tell you I had enough of these colors, but I wouldn't be able to resist Ochre, Polar and Natural!
Posted by: Kimberly Wiggin | March 28, 2019 at 05:38 PM
Aniversario, Arco Iris, and Matisse! Pretty!!
Posted by: Geraldine Scott | March 28, 2019 at 05:48 PM

Posted by: M Reedstrom | March 28, 2019 at 05:57 PM
Lotus, Flavia and Zarzamora
Posted by: Suzanne | March 28, 2019 at 06:53 PM
Hard to decide. Aniversario, Archangel and Arco Iris.
Posted by: Lynn | March 28, 2019 at 07:36 PM
Whales Road, Indieceta (love that name), & Solis. Cannot resist those blue/green combinations.
Posted by: Ann | March 28, 2019 at 09:12 PM
Cian, Polar Morn, and Whales Road are my three picks.
Posted by: Emily Cossins | March 28, 2019 at 09:37 PM

MALABRIGO SOCK 247 WHALES ROAD
Posted by: Elizabeth SanMiguel | March 28, 2019 at 10:04 PM
Oh man, 2 skeins of Sabiduria and 1 of Archangel would be amazing for the blanket I'm planning to weave for my sister's wedding present!
Posted by: Kara | March 28, 2019 at 10:13 PM
I love Malabrigo’s vibrant colors! Archangel and Arco Iris are my favorite colors (I like the “A” variant of the latter) and for a shade I haven’t tried before, Fortaleza.
Posted by: Megan | March 28, 2019 at 10:29 PM
I currently have plans for a nice airy sweater made out of Persia but I kinda want to add a contrasting color for a bit of variety something like Polar Moon would be fun yet subtle. I also really like Dewberry and Matisse Blue is my favorite shade of blue so they are calling my name for other projects....the struggle is real lol
Posted by: Kaia | March 28, 2019 at 11:46 PM
Malabrigo = joy on a crafty spring afternoon. 😄
I’d enjoy creating something with Lotus, Fortaleza, and Archangel.
Posted by: Kara Williams | March 28, 2019 at 11:52 PM
Malabrigo is my favorite!
Three skeins of Flavia would be divine, because I haven't seen that colorway yet.
Posted by: Carol | March 29, 2019 at 12:40 AM
I've never used Malabrigo but I like the story behind it. My three picks - Caribeno, Whale Road and Lotus.
Posted by: Sarah R | March 29, 2019 at 12:55 AM
I love polar morn, Matisse blue, and cian
Posted by: Kate | March 29, 2019 at 03:36 AM
I love them all! Whales Toad, Solis and Azules would be my pick.
Posted by: Kim Holbrook | March 29, 2019 at 07:59 AM
lovin arco iris!!!!
Posted by: jeanne | March 29, 2019 at 08:25 AM
I'd like to see these together to see how they would look:
Matisse Blue
Solis
Impressionist Sky
Posted by: Marilyn Hunley | March 29, 2019 at 08:32 AM
Ok - Any would be great! But - Whales road, Solis and Ivy. Or three of one of those for a start on a sweater. I'm not good at combining colors on my own - just can't make up my mind.
I love Malabrigo. The colors are absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
Posted by: Amy G | March 29, 2019 at 08:37 AM
Silly me...I thought "I can choose three?! That will be easy; I won't have to narrow it down."
After much deliberation:
807 Cote D Azure
809 Solis
856 Azules
Posted by: staci | March 29, 2019 at 09:25 AM
I'd love to win a skein of Kris, Sabiduria, and Fortaleza!
I am currently knitting a hat with Rios in Archangel and it is knitting up so beautifully! I'll most likely CO a hat with Ivy once I finish this first one up.
Posted by: Tosha | March 29, 2019 at 09:37 AM
083 Water Green
120 Lotus
136 Sabiduria

Indonesia, violet grape and fresco would be my choices! Thanks for the contest.
Posted by: Terri Bringar | March 29, 2019 at 10:31 AM
That was a dangerous exercise. I want ALL THE YARN. My top three would be Whales Road, Polar Morn, and Cirrus Gray.
Posted by: Bonnie | March 29, 2019 at 10:40 AM
I would love to win ALL THE MALABRIGO that I could possibly stuff into my closet, but then there wouldn't be any room for my clothes! My three faves are Cereza, Persia and Solis. But they are all GORGEOUS!
Posted by: Susan Ipavec | March 29, 2019 at 10:49 AM
Water Green, Lotus, and Arco Iris. Too many pretty colors to choose from!
Posted by: Geri Heagy | March 29, 2019 at 11:21 AM
I love Polar Morn, Cereza, and Plomo
Posted by: Pat | March 29, 2019 at 12:08 PM

Posted by: Cindy | March 29, 2019 at 12:10 PM

Fresco Y Sec, Velvet Grape and Arco Iris please!
Posted by: Naomi J in OK | March 29, 2019 at 12:30 PM
I would choose Fresco Y Sec, Ivy and Aguas. All are lovely.
Posted by: Margie | March 29, 2019 at 01:33 PM
Turner. Alcaucil, zarzamora
Posted by: Merna | March 29, 2019 at 01:42 PM
Piedras! Piedeas! Piedras! I love the hrights!
Posted by: heights! McNew | March 29, 2019 at 02:06 PM
They're all so pretty but I've narrowed it down to Aniversario, Caribeno, and Piedras Bright.
Posted by: Anissa | March 29, 2019 at 03:23 PM
I love this yarn! Violeta, Impressionis, Polar Morn are easy to choose. Any would do for knitting.
Posted by: sue swartz herr | March 29, 2019 at 08:03 PM
I would choose 3 skeins of Kris to make my mother a squishy shawl .
Posted by: Brenna Delosier | March 29, 2019 at 09:05 PM
How could I possibly choose only 3??? I love them all! 😂
But ok, if I must: Indiecita, Candombe, Sabiduria!
Posted by: Anna G | March 30, 2019 at 12:29 AM
I feel like a kid in a candy store when shopping for Malabrigo...all those lovely blues and greens. Caribeno is calling me and would be gorgeous on its own or faded with one of the lighter and darker blues.
Posted by: Lara | March 30, 2019 at 04:50 AM
I would love 3 skeins of Dewberry.
Posted by: ACraftyKnitter | March 30, 2019 at 08:15 AM
Arco Iris A, Sabiduria and Water Green
Posted by: Sue | March 30, 2019 at 08:30 AM

Polar Morn, Plomo, Cereza
Posted by: Julie | March 30, 2019 at 01:47 PM
I like the combo of Ochre, Cote D Azure and Playa
Posted by: Anne | March 30, 2019 at 02:17 PM
Piedras, Zarzamora, & Rayon Vert. Not an easy decision. I was tempted to say Indiecita & Primavera - 2 colorways I already have in my stash. But the new versions are different from what I have - a little brighter I think - & I love them. But I decided to go with some I don’t already have. Actually it would be easier to list those I wouldn’t want!
Posted by: Donna | March 30, 2019 at 05:00 PM
What about a Zarzamora and 2 of that Pines on Rios? Those seen like they'd make a yummy stripey something together.
Posted by: Diane | March 30, 2019 at 11:02 PM
For three colors - Cereza, Water Green, and Aguas.
Or, just three skeins of Solis for an epic shawl or sweater.
Posted by: Lisa | March 30, 2019 at 11:54 PM
Water Green
Lotus
Violeta Afri
These are all beautiful
Posted by: Rhonda Atkinson | March 31, 2019 at 11:46 AM
Hard choice!
But I’d pick: Caribeno, Teal Feather and Cian
Posted by: Donna Stevens | March 31, 2019 at 01:14 PM
New sock knitter, senior citizen, just learning about Malabrigo, hear so many great comments about it I would love to try any color. Thanks
Posted by: Glenda | March 31, 2019 at 02:21 PM
The colors are all amazing and I think anything Malabrigo is great to knit with. To start with...Borrajas, Anniversario and PIANO!
Posted by: Karen P. | March 31, 2019 at 03:33 PM
I would like 886 Diana for myself; 247 Whales Road for my sibling; and 141 Dewberry for my BFF (Best fiber friend); however all of the colors are simply amazing!
Posted by: D | March 31, 2019 at 04:46 PM
Three skeins of Malabrigo Sock 120 Lotus would make something lovely. I'm not sure what, but it would be wonderful. Such a hard choice to make!
Posted by: Barbara | April 01, 2019 at 12:33 AM
They are all so beautiful it's hard to choose, but I believe my favorites are Anniversario, Cian, and Indonesia. Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Renee | April 01, 2019 at 10:25 AM
Thanks for sponsoring another contest. Beautiful colors. I am partial to Dewberry, flavia and ochre.
