Malabrigo Rios is a worsted weight yarn spun from 100% superwash merino wool and hand dyed in small batches. Its smooth, round strand gives excellent stitch definition, and the superwash finish makes it easy to care for.
Because each skein is hand dyed in small batches, Malabrigo yarns do not list dye lots, and each skein is unique. When looking to make a larger project, we recommend purchasing all of your yarn at the same time to guarantee the same color throughout!
You’ll find Rios is made up into several shop samples, including Sara’s Quincy Shawl in Lettuce, or the Garter Rim Beanie in Whole Grain. This is a shop favorite for a reason! Build your own Quincy Shawl Kit using Rios, or find more Malabrigo colors in a soft single ply with Malabrigo Washted.
