A Twist of Color: Celebrating 20 Years of Malabrigo with new colors and the Barnstable Shawl KAL
2025 marks Malabrigo's 20th anniversary, and what better way to mark two decades of color, creativity, and community than by sharing something truly special.
This September, we are celebrating with a very special Knit-Along (KAL): the Barnstable Shawl by Lisa Hannes. This modern mosaic shawl has long been a favorite among knitters, and now we are giving it a fresh twist —literally — by pairing it with our Seis Cabos yarn for the first time. Plus, we’re launching two brand-new colorways created just for the occasion.
Meet our two new shades
To honor this milestone, we created two brand-new colors, available in Seis Cabos, our bouncy six-ply yarn that’s ideal for shawls:
Team Favorites: Our Color Pairings for Barnstable Shawl KAL
To help you choose your perfect pair, our team has curated their favorite Main Color + Contrast Color combinations for the Barnstable Shawl KAL.
But this time, we’re doing things a little differently.
Because the Barnstable Shawl is a mosaic knitting project, contrast is essential. That’s why we’ve twisted each color combo into a single hank—so you can instantly see how the shades interact: how they pop, blend, or balance.
It’s one of the best ways to test contrast before you cast on — and to make sure your stitches shine.
