The name of this yarn “Belgian chocolate “ perfectly describes the colour as it is a very rich brown with slight variations!
Ordered this yarn for a workshop I was teaching, and as always, it's my favorite! It was so fun to watch people's reactions when they learned and practiced with some scratchy, and then switched to Malabrigo to make their toques, and they just swooned. Always so grateful to Jessica for all of her help.
As a big Malabrigo fan, I’m always impressed by the diversity of yarn from that brand I can find here. The quality is impeccable and colours so vibrant! Sellers always leave a note, a marker or a tiny gift which make every purchase a delight.
Yarn quality is consistent with Rasta. This is my first time buying this colorway in 5 years but it won't be my last!
This colour is stunning and beautiful to work with!
The package arrived quickly, packaging was great and the colour is amazing! Thank you!
Love this yarn! It’s a workhorse for all accessories, hats, headbands, mittens and booties!
