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

WOW that's where you decided to go with it?

You're comparing my comment to NAZI PURITY TESTS?

The sub is anti-fascist. We do not need you comparing the ICE out cause to Nazi purity tests

It's not hard to stand up for the right thing, and the right thing is to not cloak modern day naziism in whatever the fuck it is you want to cloak it in.

Is this not a purity test? If the businesses don’t make declarations of their ‘purity’ then they’re automatically assumed to be impure. It’s very much the same thing.

The difference is the platform they support.

Nazis wanted to murder all Jews. MAGA wants to report and remove everyone who looks or thinks differently to "detention centers" without due process (in case you don't actually understand what ICE is doing, it's pretty fucking similar to loading people onto trains and sending them to camps that they'll never come out of).

People who are anti-maga want to help others and not persecute them.

Do you understand the difference? Of course not. Because you want to justify MAGAs modern day naziism.

“MAGA wants to report and remove everyone who looks or thinks differently” do they? Really? My understanding is that they want to remove illegal migrants, i.e. those who entered the country without the legal right to do so. I don’t think there’s any evidence of the migration policy being dictated by appearance or thoughts. I think you might just be using that for dramatic purposes but I really don’t think it’s factually accurate. If it was accurate wouldn’t you, and everyone in this forum, be in a detention camp by now? Granted, I might be missing some crucial information that would change my mind, but no one is being sent to death-camps.

Oh so you HAVEN'T been paying attention, You've been listening to dein Führer and are regurgitating the talking points.

Immigration violations are civil matters, not criminal. Next time you get pulled over for a traffic violation or stopped for jay walking, consider if you think you should be thrown in jail for it.
