Malabrigo Day

For over decades, Malabrigo has been bringing color, softness, and joy to knitters and crocheters around the world. Founded in Uruguay by two brothers inspired by their grandmother’s hand-knit artistry, Malabrigo began as a small kitchen-dyeing experiment. What started with a single pot of yarn has grown into an international favorite — a brand beloved for its rich colorways, buttery-soft merino, and dedication to artisanal, sustainable dyeing practices. Today, Malabrigo continues to celebrate creativity and community with every skein, inspiring makers to wrap the world in warmth and color.

Celebrate Malabrigo Day at Fancywork!

Join Fancywork — and yarn shops across the globe — for the second annual Malabrigo Day, celebrating 21 marvelous years and counting of Malabrigo yarns! We’re hosting a full day of fiber fun, color, and community in true Fancywork fashion.

Sample 24 different Malabrigo bases at our Yarn Tasting Bar, beautifully displayed in wine glasses and ready for you to knit or crochet a little “taste.” Enjoy light refreshments and Malabrigo Mimosas, and if we’re lucky, a few batches of homemade Alfajores — classic Argentinian sandwich cookies.

Each taster earns a raffle ticket for a chance to win two skeins of this year's new yarn release from Malabrigo’s newest yarn, Brisa, plus a Malabrigo project bag. Yarn tasters can also enjoy Malabrigo swag — hat tags, stitch markers, buttons, stickers, and more — with any yarn purchase, while supplies last.

Browse a selection of limited-edition Malabrigo yarns and tote bags we don’t usually carry, or place a special order for any of Malabrigo's twenty delightful yarn bases! We’ll also have free printed patterns and QR codes for digital downloads from Malabrigo’s pattern library.
