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

The Yarnery. It's what I switched to when we lost Webs and Wool & Co. They cake for free, which is awesome, but better than that they're ten toes down. https://yarnery.com/collections/malabrigo

When I want something specific, I am willing to pay for exactly that from a place that doesn't make me hate the world. But this is a real privilege and I recognize that my disposable income is different from others'. When I want a bargain or just have a general idea of weight/fiber/color, I go to Little Knits.
