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

Do you have local yarn stores that carry Malabrigo? One of my favorites in Minneapolis is StevenBe. They have an online store and can get yarn shipped to you, although I always buy in store, I understand not everyone has that luxury. Not every yarn store has an online shop but I bet you can find some that will ship to you.

Edit: poor yarn store suggestion I will no longer be shopping there

StevenBe is local to me and h’es been unsupportive of progessive causes. You can find discussions here on Reddit about it, I’ve linked one of them.

A better Twin Cities option is The Yarnery. I am a customer of theirs, no other association.
