I made a pair of wool longies for Camilla out of worsted Malabrigo. Yum.
Mmmmalongies 2
Pattern: Perfection Pants by Pamela Grossman (purchased at Three Irish Girls)
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted, 100% wool, Little Lovely colourway (purchased at The Backwards Loop)

Yes, I absolutely must buy some awesome 3IG yarn to make more of these. Even more Mmmmalabrigo, since it’s so soft and yummy.
I recently bought my first malabrigio skein…. I was so intimidated by its beauty and soft perfection that I scanned ravelry for THREE weeks, anxiously seeking the perfect pattern. And of course, deciding on the pattern that I originally bought the yarn for. LOL. I made a little hat for my yet-to-be-born son. Turned out great. So i made a pair of matching mittens. Now have some yarn left– hmmmm what to make with it? Booties?
How many skeins did you use for your longies? What size are they?
