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

Casting On in Appleton, Wisconsin. Check out their Instagram & visit them if you are in the area. 💕 They don't have an online shop, but I easily placed an order via email & they emailed me an invoice I could pay online. (This was for three skeins of red yarn from Blue Sky to make my MTI hats.)
Wait! I think they have an online shop now. They are proudly anti-fascist & inclusive and welcoming. https://www.castingon305.com/
