MalabrigoRasta 35 Frank Ochre

When I got the yarn it looked strange - really pretty reds and purple but with theses areas that look almost black. Looked like a mistake. But when I knit up the hat it turned out beautiful. The colors in stitches showed the true beauty of the yarn. The yarn is easy to work with and is soft and warm. This is my 1st knit project. The hat is 20" around and about 11" tall worked with US15/10mm circular needles. I had enough left for a pom pom but haven't made that yet. The vendor is wonderful, good communication and quick service.

When I first opened this yarn, I intensely disliked the color of the Malabrigo Rasta Stitch Red. It looked dirty, like it used to be red but was drug through a used oil dump! It was expensive too—over $25 for the skein—and it wasn’t even close to it’s picture. I decided I didn’t want the added expense of sending it back so I went ahead and worked it up in a hat. The FO didn’t get much better IMHO, but my husband liked the color. So my advice: IF you decide to purchase this yarn be aware that it may work best for a man’s garment or gift. I can’t think of any woman that would wear this as it looks like it needs a good wash!

Love malabrigo and this is my first time using Rasta. So soft and always a lovely color selection... That is the most difficult thing, selecting them. This is one of my favorite hand dyed yarns. Always soft and smooth, no knots or imperfections. Making a hat with super bulky Rasta and it knits up quickly.

Dreamy to the touch and brilliant color.However color was different then selected. Options of colors where suggested in categories of greens, oranges, pinks, and blues indicating choices. I chose the greens and my shipment was yarn of all the colors, rainbow 🌈 collection. It's so beautiful and my infinity scarf is lovely dispite it being colorful instead of what I wanted..

Love Malabrigo yarn - especially the Rasta super chunky. Knits up hats super quick. The color of the yarn is beautiful. Seller shipped very quickly and was great great to work with! Will be buying more!

I love Malabrigo for its sumptuous color ways and incredibly soft feel. Rasta did not disappoint. I had been waiting to find ways to use this yarn. It knitted up gorgeously into a cowl that will be so soft and cozy against the skin.

I’m beyond thrilled with the malabrigo Rasta yarn I ordered. It is beautiful and it was delivered very quickly.

The colors are beautiful and the yard is easy to work with. It arrived on time and was packaged appropriately.

So beautiful and so soft. Just love this malabrigo rasta yarn.
