What is Malabrigo Rios best for?

Rios is beautifully suited to sweaters, accessories, and everyday garments where you want color and comfort in equal measure. The Antler Hat pattern is a lovely way to show off its vibrant depth and stitch clarity. Browse the full range in our Malabrigo Yarn collection.

How much yarn do I need for a project?

Each skein holds 210 yards. A hat or cowl typically uses 1 to 2 skeins, and a worsted weight sweater may call for 8 to 11 depending on size, so we are glad to help you plan for your pattern.

What fiber is it, and where does it come from?

It is 100% superwash merino wool, hand dyed in small batches, which is why the colorways feel so rich and why no two skeins are ever exactly alike. Explore more in our wool yarn collection.

How do I care for it?

Machine washable on a gentle cycle in cold water, and avoid the tumble dryer to keep the stitches and color looking their best.

What is the difference between Rios and Washted?

Both are hand dyed Malabrigo superwash merino in a similar worsted weight, but Rios is plied into a smooth, round strand, while Washted is spun single ply for a softer, more textured look. Choose Rios for crisp stitch definition, and Washted for a bit more rustic character.
