Luxuriously Soft Superwash Merino Wool
Malabrigo Rios is a beautifully hand-dyed yarn that's become a favorite among knitters and crocheters worldwide. Made from 100% superwash merino wool, it's incredibly soft against the skin while being practical enough for everyday wear and easy care.
What Makes It Special:
The magic of Rios lies in its gorgeous hand-dyed colors. Each skein is individually dyed in small batches, creating rich, complex color variations that add depth and character to your projects. No two skeins are exactly alike, giving your finished pieces a unique, artisanal quality.
Being a worsted weight yarn, Rios has a rounded, substantial feel that knits up quickly and creates beautiful stitch definition. It's springy and elastic, making it forgiving to work with and comfortable to wear.
Superwash Convenience:
"Superwash" means you can machine wash and dry your finished projects without worrying about shrinking or felting. This makes Rios perfect for items that need regular washing—baby clothes, sweaters, hats, and accessories that you'll actually wear and use.
Perfect For:
- Cozy sweaters and cardigans
- Warm hats, scarves, and mittens
- Baby blankets and garments
- Shawls and wraps
- Socks (though it's a bit thick for traditional sock patterns)
- Any project where you want luxurious softness with easy care
Weight & Yardage:
Worsted weight (medium), typically around 210 yards per 100-gram skein, making it versatile for a wide range of patterns.
Who It's For:
Ideal for knitters and crocheters who love working with premium fibers and stunning hand-dyed colors. Whether you're making a special gift or treating yourself to a luxurious project, Malabrigo Rios delivers both beauty and practicality in every skein.
