Malabrigo - Rios

Soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply yarn is a workhorse that resists pilling! Washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. It is super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear as well as housewares, toys, cables and colorwork! Spun from Uruguayan premium superwash merino, it comes in an array of watercolor-multi, semi-solid, and variegated colorways.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each skein may vary from the next. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.  For Ball Winding services click here.  Please know that we always hand pick all yarns so that the best match from skein to skein is possible.
