Malabrigo has been busy putting yet another new twist—both literally and figuratively—on its super-soft kettle-dyed Merino yarn line.

Called Twist, this new yarn is made from not two, not four, but eight tiny plies all twisted tightly together. Do we finally have a Malabrigo that won't pill?

In the Forum: Guessing Yardage
Pamela is teaching a class on top-down sweater construction. No matter which technique she and her students use for figuring out the required yardage for their projects, they always end up with nearly twice too much yarn. She's asking for a reality check from us. Do you find that top-down sweater construction uses less yarn than bottom-up or pieced construction techniques?
