Why we love Malabrigo
Malabrigo is a family-owned yarn company located in Uruguay and Peru. They have developed a line of hand-dyed yarns of incredible softness and wonderful color variations. Their yarns are made out of the softest fibers available and inspired by nature, as well as landscapes, places, art, and day-to-day life.
Malabrigo employs mostly women of all ages, and always tries to give job opportunities to people that have fewer opportunities than the average individual.
In the mill in Peru, they use as few chemicals as possible. They reduce the quantity of water used by systematizing the order of colors dyed everyday, meeting Oeko-Tex 1907/2006 CE standards.
