Malabrigo Rios

Soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply yarn is both beautiful and versatile! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments and children and baby clothes. It’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash merino, it comes in an array of watercolor and variegated colorways.

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

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball. 

Katherine's note: These varigated hand-dyed skeins pair beautifully with both Ultra Wool and Ultra Alpaca solid colors. This yarn is soft, supple and has great stitch definition. It will quickly become your favorite yarn!
