Malabrigo Rios Superwash Merino Wool Knitting Yarn - Soft Black (#195) for Sweaters, Scarves, and Cozy Winter Accessories

5 Stars for the seller (Beads and Yarn). Fast shipping, nice packaging, and a handwritten thank you on the invoice. I appreciate the convenience of shopping on Amazon but knowing I am purchasing from a small business. $15.40 is the best price you can usually find per hank for Malabrigo + free shipping - even on just one - cannot beat it.The yarn itself I personally love. It is true it is on the thinner/lighter side for a worsted weight yarn. I find it very soft, love the colors, and it knits up beautifully. I love that Rios is a superwash wool for ease of care. I am currently using it in multiple projects.This time I purchased just one hank of Lotus, because despite many other choices, both my daughters want THIS ONE for the hats I’m making them, and I only had the one. The new one I received is not quite as vibrant as the other - but it doesn’t matter, the hats will be on two different heads. I also fully expected this, given the other was purchased about 3 years ago. Lol. It’s actually more similar than you might expect under those circumstances - very obviously the same color way (which is a soft, beautiful mix of lavenders, purples, light blue/aqua/teal). I’m pretty sure it came from the same seller because I remember the tissue wrapping and handwritten note. Thank you, Jenny! :)
