So based on my calculation, if you buy a bag it only cost you $12.88/skein for sock yarn (100 gr), $6.16/skein for lace (50 gr) and $7.5/skein for worseted (100 gr). Don’t you think these prices hard to resist?

I have some Malabrigo worsted in my stash that I haven’t used yet. At this moment, I have new crochet project that use Malabrigo lace. Actually I don’t really enjoy crocheting with it. It’s not as smooth and fast as Jagerspun Zephyr, probably because Malabrigo doesn’t have silk content in it (it’s 100% wool). However, I can see that the final result is going to be gorgeous, plus I read a lot of good review in Ravelry about Malabrigo.

So, I order some. Not as many as I would like to, but enough for me to get busy using it and play with it for sometimes.
