The yarnistas love a notions tin but these take it to the next level. These cute tins come with a magnet to help secure any tapestry needles, metal stitch markers or other metallic notions and keep them from ending up in your vacuum cleaner. (we’ve all been there) They’re perfect for knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, needlepointers, and more!

This family-owned yarn company started in 2005 in Montevideo, Uruguay, with two brothers-in-law dyeing yarns in an old kitchen pot. First marketed in the US, their gorgeous colorways, kettle-dyed on soft Uruguayan Merino wool, swiftly captured the interest of knitters worldwide.

From the beginning, Malabrigo has provided job opportunities to underprivileged members of their community, employing a workforce made up mainly of women of all ages. Now producing their yarns at a larger facility in Peru to meet demand, Malabrigo mitigates the environmental impact of their yarns by limiting chemical use, reducing water use, and complying with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and REACH 1907/2006 regulations.

Most of Malabrigo’s yarns are made with 100% Uruguayan Merino wool, prized around the world for its high quality and softness. Sourced from farms that provide their sheep with free-range seasonal pasturage overseen by traditional-style shepherds, Malabrigo’s wool (like all Uruguayan wool!) is 100% mulesing-free, thanks to Uruguay’s cool, dry climate and industry commitment to ethical sheep production.
