Malabrigo KAL Competition New Start Date
Have you noticed? The competition calendar reset a bit. Malabrigo decided to push the start of their KAL for February back from February 1st to February 15th to allow for additional time to get yarn out for all those participating knitters.
Have you signed up for the competition? We are neck and neck with Around The Table Yarns to have bragging rights of the most entries in the Malabrigo KAL (and pizza). All the details and links for signing up and yarn purchases can be found here:
So, there’s still plenty of time to sign up if you haven’t already, and we have a new shipment of Arroyo in stock and ready for purchase.
Stay Safe and Knit On!

CALLING ALL MAKS KNITTERS
We’ve been challenged. Starting February 1st, Malabrigo is sponsoring a Knit-A-Long featuring their Arroyo DK superwash merino. And Susan has put together some beautiful color choices for you to knit the KAL 2022 with. The pattern is called “La Mondiola” and is a lovely chevron knit shawl.
Here’s how it works:
You sign up at Malabrigo for the KAL before February 1st. (Countdown on our main page!)

Here’s how our side competition is going to work: We are challenging Around The Table Yarns over in Shaker Heights, OH to get more than them to sign up for the KAL. We’ve also requested to make this a fundraiser and you can do an optional $10.00 donation for OUTREACH, INC. *ATTY is also doing a fundraiser for Providence House. What do we win…BRAGGING RIGHTS and the loser buys the winner pizza.
You have until February 1st to sign up with Malabrigo and MAKS and get your yarn. Susan has additional information posted on Instagram and the MAKS Facebook page and if you have any additional questions, call us at the shop.
READY, SET, GO!
