Malabrigo Rios is a shop favorite and a yarn you'll reach for again and again for its beautiful hand-dyed color, softness, and long-lasting wear. This 4-ply worsted yarn is spun from 100% superwash merino wool, giving you a yarn that's soft enough for next-to-skin wear, yet sturdy enough for everyday garments and accessories.
Rios takes color beautifully and comes in a rainbow of colors from rich semi-solids to complex variegated tones. Whether you're knitting a cozy sweater, hats and mittens, children's clothes, or a textured throw, the resulting fabric has depth, warmth, and character. And because it's superwash, finished pieces are easier to care for — a big plus for items like blankets, hats, and frequently worn garments.
If you're looking for versatility, Rios has it. Its crisp stitch definition makes it a go-to for knit-purl stitches, cables, and textured knits. It's a yarn you'll come back to every season!
