Here’s how it happened. Earlier this week I needed US 15 DPNs. I thought maybe I could just go to Michael’s and pick them up. So I decided I should get US 13 DPNs at the same time. And then I decided that I should just buy the needles for $5 in Paris also since I am going to knit that at some point.
Michael’s was a bust. They had nothing. I was even considering just buying the Caron Simply Soft that this sweater calls for but their selection was pretty much gone. So I left defeated but I knew I wouldn’t have any free time to make it to my local yarn store to check out their needle selection. I actually started a different project because I had the stuff for it on hand and decided to just wait on the hat that called for the US 15 DPNs.
Then I decided to just order what I needed from WEBS. And since I was already paying for shipping and handling, I decided to treat myself to some yarn that I really didn’t need. And that’s how I wound up with two skeins of Malabrigo Finito.
I first noticed this yarn in my Facebook newsfeed when The Loopy Ewe got it in stock and I was intrigued by the description.
The luxurious Malabrigo Finito comes from the finest Uruguay wool available and only comes to market once a year in limited quantities.
And after knitting up some Malabrigo Chunky for my latest Dolores Park Cowl, I knew I had to take advantage of this once a year opportunity.
I love the feel of this yarn and the colorway I chose, Glitter, isn’t glittery at all but earthy and rich. I wonder what this might become.
I know how that happens. I go to the yarn store for one thing and come out with three things. Enjoy your new yarn.. Its gorgeous

And it’s so easy to rationalize all those extra purchases! Besides, we could be splurging on much worse things.
First, you always need yarn. Second, if your going to fall down it might as well be onto some Malabrigo. It provides a great landing place.
Agreed! This yarn is pretty wonderful.
