Malabrigo is dyed in small batches and has a naturally variegated look with lots of depth and overlapping colors. No two skeins are alike even within the same dye lot so make sure that you follow all recommendations on the packaging for alternating rows to minimize color pooling. It is recommended that you buy all of the color you need in a single purchase. Yarn Loop is one of the few locations within the United States that will personally sort the skeins for the best color match possible. Yarn Loop does not charge a fee for special orders. With Malabrigo dyes, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn is assigned a different dye lot number. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns. For Ball Winding services, click here. About Malabrigo- Malabrigo is a family-owned yarn company located in Uruguay and Peru that has developed a line of Hand-Dyed yarns of incredible softness and wonderful color variations. The yarns are made out of the softest fibers available and inspired by nature, as well as landscapes, places, art and day-to-day life. This is represented when naming the yarns and the range of over 400 colors. Malabrigo produces yarn with joy and passion and believe in the pleasure of knitting with high-quality, carefully designed, subtly dyed yarns and in the joy of wearing what is created with them. Malabrigo started small, when two brothers-in-law started dyeing wool in a kitchen pot back in 2005. After achieving good results, they started selling a few skeins to the US and, before they knew it, they had quickly grown to other countries in the rest of the world. To keep up with this growth, they needed to relocate to larger facilities and hire more employees so the company has moved all production to Peru, keeping the laboratory in Montevideo, Uruguay, expressly for product development. Malabrigo employs mostly women of all ages, and always tries to give job opportunities to people that have fewer opportunities than the average individual. Most of malabrigo’s yarns are made with 100% Uruguayan Merino wool. Uruguay has one of the biggest wool supplies in the world, and is of an extremely high quality, especially in regards to softness. The wool is 100% produced by Uruguayan farms that allow their free - range sheep to graze through the hills. The flocks are herded by traditional shepherds. The controversial practice of mulesing does not exist in Uruguay. All wool from malabrigo is mulesing - free. Environmental statement; In the mill at Peru, malabrigo uses as few chemicals as possible. We reduce the quantity of water used by systematizing the order of colors we dye everyday, meeting Oeko-Tex 1907/2006 CE standards, with a view to achieving the maximum energy saving.
