Malabrigo Rios

Malabrigo Rios - soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply yarn is Malabrigo's workhorse yarn! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. Spun from Malabrigo's premium superwash merino, Rios is super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! 

Rios is hand dyed in amazingly beautiful colors with a richness and depth that evoke emotions as primal as the four major rivers in Uruguay it is named after, each of which is represented in its four plies. Each skein is a work of art that blurs the lines between the fiber arts and poetry. Seeing it in person is invigorating, holding it is a pleasure, knitting with it is a joy and wearing it is a peaceful abiding comfort. Enjoy!

Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids items, housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, colorwork.

Please Note: Malabrigo Rios is dyed in small batches and ships to us in bags of 5. As with all hand dyes, there can be great color variation from skein to skein even within the same bag.  For this reason, many Malabrigo colors no longer have dye batch lots printed on the label.  When working on projects requiring more than one skein it is always recommended to alternate skeins as you work.  We take special pride and care with hand dyes when packing multiple skein orders to ship more compatible skeins together, whether or not they may have come out of the same bag or have the same dye batch printed on the label.  As each skein is unique, skeins will never be a perfect match and there may be differences between the photos shown and yarn you receive.
