Malabrigo Rasta is the kind of yarn knitters reach for again and again. Customers say it feels good as you're working it up, and many describe it as one of their favourite chunky yarns.
Reviewers describe the colour range as one of the best parts. There are so many gorgeous colourways to choose from, and several customers say the shades are rich and beautiful in person. Hand-dyed skeins mean each one has its own character, so it's worth buying enough for your project to keep the colour consistent.
Customers say it's squishy and so soft, and that it knits up fast, which makes it a joy for weekend projects. One reviewer notes that it stays easy to work with throughout, and another says the fabric holds up surprisingly well for a single ply. Your hands will love it, and so will your progress count!
Chunky beanies are a clear favourite. Several reviewers have made them as gifts, using several colours at once. Hats and cowls come up again and again, and one customer knitted a cardigan with it and found it knit up beautifully. A quick, cosy project that still feels special, perfect for knitters and crocheters alike.
Reviewers describe finished pieces as very comfortable to wear, with many buyers saying the items feel cosy and enjoyable. One customer noted that their finished pieces blocked nicely with little to no rolling. Love it!

I love this yarn. The soft feel and unique colors call to me from my knitting basket. I love the fact that just one skein makes a gorgeous cowl.
I am currently knitting a vest in this, and it is a scrumptious yarn!
So soft and lovely to knit with. It does have a vinegar smell that really interests my dog. Such a great colour range.
Easy to work with and great colour. Knits up fast. I use it for beanie hats.
Soft and beautiful. Knitting swatches on 15s and 19s. Can’t decide. Knitting Gallant sweater. Rasta is my favorite chunky yarn.
Absolutely amazing soft super bulky yarn. The colour combinations are very eye catching. I have knit hats with this yarn. One skein is usually enough for a hat. Love how it feels on the head. Warm and cozy.. Feels soft against the skin.
This yarn is beautiful, the colours are so vibrant and the yarn is so soft. It’s a chunky yarn so it knits up quickly and it is so soft against skin and lovely and warm. Perfect for winter woolies, hats, scarfs, jumpers etc
It was easy to order, the delivery was quick, and the prices are great. I'm using it for making beanies. I would definitely recommend. Perfect!
Beautiful soft, thick merino wool. Crocheting uses a lot of this wool so I needed four balls to make a long scarf but could have only used two balls if knitting one.
…such a beautiful blue! Great quality yarn both to knit and to wear…knits up quickly on 9mm needles, non-superwash
