Smooth as Silk
[caption id="attachment_450" align="aligncenter" width="426" caption="The Stella McCartney pre-Fall 2010 collection"]
[/caption]
For her pre-Fall 2010 show, Stella McCartney not only pulled out the standard -- camel-colored wool coats -- but paired them, surprisingly, with metallic dresses, leggings and tops. While most of us tend to restrict our use of shine to the cocktail hour, there are a daring few who may want to re-create this look in a more wearable, comfortable way, with a knitted garment. What better color and texture palette to use than Malabrigo Silky? With an incredible drape and shine, this dk-weight yarn can prove more inspiring and versatile than ever. Some patterns to try include Coral, from the Amimono Knit Collection, or Coffee Tunic by Mira Ranki.
If you're feeling inspired, check out this color palette in Silky Merino for solids. It might also give you an interesting 'metallic' effect to layer similar colors next to each other in a patterned or fair isle piece!

Highlight -- Knitter's Review of Twist
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="264" caption="Photo Property of Knitter's Review.com"]
[/caption]
If you're as avid a knitter as I am, you'll be well aware of Knitters Review, the website that reviews products, yarns, and lots of knitting notions to see how they fare in different situations so that you can always read before you buy. They have a lot of wonderful reviews for all brands of yarn -- including many for Malabrigo, but recently I checked to see that they've added a review for Malabrigo Twist!
It was wonderful to see that the review was so favorable, and it's a real honor for us to have a yarn so well-loved in any knitter's opinion. But no need for me to wax poetic here - read it yourself! Knitter's Review, Malabrigo Twist.
