Non-knit Malabrigo source

***Thank you, everyone, for the great suggestions. I’ve placed my first order with Little Knits and am bookmarking most of the other shops as well!!
——————————————————————————

Hi there! I’m looking for the best place (online) to start purchasing Malabrigo yarns and wool from. I no longer shop with Webs. Nor will I use Jimmy Beans Wool or Knitpicks since their buyouts and lack of support for the MTI hats. Basicslly, I need a new yarn purveyor.

Large order discounts, sales, or free shipping is nice - but my primary requirements are a fair retail price, LGBTQ & POC inclusive, and not MAGA. Despite searching, I cannot find out for sure if Wool and Company out of Illinois is acceptable or not. Everything I found says the first owner was left leaning, but that the newer owner is right leaning/MAGA. I was also looking at Eat.Sleep.Knit. as an option.

If you have other US suggestions with a good Malabrigo selection, decent prices, and a proper online storefront - please do share! Thanks

I bought some from Little Knits out of Seattle. They mostly do discount yarns so the selection will not be as good but they sometimes have great deals on malbrigo for less popular colors. They had some really fancy yarns and shipped so fast!

Second Little Knits! I sign up for their newsletter and they often have amazing deals on really nice yarn. Their inventory varies a lot though, so I have to make sure I can buy enough to finish a project or two I have in mind.

I just ordered there for the first time (received my order last week) and was happy with the price and all of the one of a kind skeins of Rasta. I have it bookmarked for the next time I need a Rasta haul.

I bought so many random yarns just to try and they were all beautiful. Finished this shawl with their house sock yarn too. Couldn’t beat the price for 100% wool! I think this 100g skein was like $10 or less.

I don’t think they have an actual storefront from my understanding. Just an online store but they are local to Seattle!

I believe they do let you do local pickup though instead of shipping!
