Malabrigo: Rios

Malabrigo Rios is one of those yarns that’s just really nice to work with. It’s a soft, squishy 100% superwash merino in a versatile worsted weight, with enough bounce to make knitting feel effortless and stitches look beautiful.

The colors are a big part of the fun, too. Since Rios is hand-dyed, each color has its own little variations and depth, so even a simple project can have lots of personality. It’s a great choice for sweaters, hats, scarves, mittens, blankets, and pretty much anything else you want to make cozy and colorful.

**Be sure to pick up enough yarn to complete your project, since each bag comes from a different dye lot and the skeins may vary slightly from bag to bag. For a fun, naturally blended color effect, we recommend working from two balls of yarn at once and alternating a few rows from each.**
