About the Yarn

Rasta by Malabrigo is a sumptuously squishy bulky-weight yarn that comes in a stunning color palette for when you want something to be a beautiful quick project! The slightly-felted single ply design means the yarn won’t split easily while working with it, and it shines with any project including textured stitches.

The Benefits

Besides the stunning collection of hand-dyed colors Rasta projects knit or crochet in a speedy manner. The super bulky yardage on each hank is generous so you can finish a project in one skein. We don't suggest using a smaller needle or hook, this is a true Super Bulky. Bonus, this yarn is super soft.

Rasta Rocks!

Last winter I saw your sample of the “Rasta Drop Stitch Scarf”. Feel in love with it & put it on my “want to knit list”. I’m knitting my third one now for quick & easy Christmas . The yarn is smooth, soft and the variegation superb. I’m so grateful Apple Yarns provides a variety of Malabrigo yarns.

Wow Michelle! Thank you for your kind words and the 5 star review! We're glad you're enjoying our Rasta Drop Stitch Scarf and appreciate your feedback. Cheers, Andrea

Beautiful Stitch Definition & Integrity

Super bulky weight yarn for real! This yarn ia soft yet has great stitch definition and integrity. If you have to frog no worries in losing stitches and picking them back up. The hat I knit with this yarn turned out beautiful! Thank you, Andrew, for the suggestion to use it and pointing out the pattern when I shared what the recipient of said gift loves in her hats.

Linnea thank you for the 5 star review of Malabrigo Rasta! I'm so glad that Andrew's idea worked for you. Cheers, Andrea
