Eye Candy

The neon yellow Malabrigo Rasta is an eye catcher! It's not quite panic time for last-minute gift knits, but this is here for you when the time comes.

Rasta Tribeca

Take a look at these gorgeous new shades of Malabrigo Rasta.
Sally is calling this color line "adult pastels," but Malabrigo calls it TriBeCa. You can read more about their inspiration on their blog, but mostly it's all about on-trend colors. They have several cool new patterns in an eBook to showcase this yarn as well.
Rasta is so much fun to knit, and the instant gratification can't be beat. Big yarn and huge needles make for speedy knitting.
I love that this beloved yarn company is staying current and putting out these beautiful shades in addition to their classic solids and multis. Lookin' good, Malabrigo!

Malabrigo Rasta

The Rasta basket overflow-eth! I realize that we are not yet in holiday knitting crunch-mode, but this yarn deserves some love. The colors are amazing, the texture is so soft and silky, and it knits up so quickly! Malabrigo knows what they are doing.
There is some talk of snow in the city next week, and the mountains are already white. If you grab a skein of Rasta today, you'll have a scarf or cowl by the weekend. Then you'll be already for whatever chill and frost we might see.
