Malabrigo Rasta

Malabrigo Rasta is all about bold color, soft wool, and instant gratification. Spun from 100% merino wool, this thick, single-ply yarn is incredibly soft and plush, with Malabrigo's signature hand-dyed color taking center stage. Each skein is full of depth and variation, giving even the simplest stitches a lot of personality.

Because Rasta is super bulky, projects move fast — making it a favorite for cozy hats, chunky cowls, oversized scarves, and big, comfy sweaters. The fabric it creates is warm, lofty, and wonderfully soft, perfect for cold-weather accessories you'll reach for all winter long. If you're looking for a yarn that's fun to knit and delivers dramatic results quickly, Rasta fits the bill!
