Fabulous!

This was my first purchase of high quality natural fiber yarn. The only stores in my area are Michaels and Hobby Lobby. I was super nervous because normally my skin cant tolerate wool, but I was pleasantly surprised by this yarn. Its very plush and easy to work with, and shows my stitches beautifully. ❤️ I cant wait until I finish my sweater! Im waiting for my second order of yarn to arrive, but Ive Included a photo of one of the cabled sections of the body of the sweater so you can see how the yarn color Dewberry knits up.

Malabrigo Rastita is one of my Faves

We live in Colorado - east of Denver at 6,600 ft. We get some pretty cold winters & lots of wind. I use the Rastita to make turtleneck inserts for my husbands crew neck sweaters & he also likes them with his sweatshirts. Keeps him warm without any itch or irritation.

Coloring slightly different

Replace the deep blue with a purple and it looks accurate. I loved the colors of it, I needed the blues more that appear above, but it's still darn beautiful and I will still order again anyway.

Soft and gorgeous

One of my favorites, it knits up soft and with some springy, plush stretch. The colors are lovely and warm - Im just knitting a simple crescent shape up and letting the color speak for itself!

I Love Malabrigo!

Malabrigo is my absolute favorite yarn because of the beautiful color combinations they produce. I never get tired of working with their yarns, and the texture of each of those yarns is superb. There is just something warm and yummy about everything Malabrigo makes!

Gorgeous colors!

The colors of this yarn in Piedras are what drew me to purchase it, but I was so pleased with the softness and texture when it arrived that I promptly ordered it in two more colors! The included pattern download was also a pleasant surprise. You should let everyone know that the patterns are an included bonus by adding it to the description! Thanks DGY, for letting me know when you had this beautiful treasure back in stock!

Lovin' the Squish!

I was thrilled to grab a hank of Malabrigo Rastita yarn in the colorway Piedras. Oh, my... the squishy soft goodness of this single ply yarn feels heavenly. The colors are gorgeous too, as I always expect from Malabrigo; deep olive, dark gold, and Concord grape are just a few of the colors in this slightly felted Merino wool yarn. I just love it! Thanks to DGY for carrying this along with their many other wonderful yarns!!!

I love this yarn!

This yarn is super soft. I didn't get any knots in my skein. Nor did it split when I was knitting with it. I'm so impressed that I plan to order some for a sweater.
