A soft, strong, and washable 4-ply yarn, Malabrigo Rios is a shop favorite! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. And like all Malabrigo yarns, it’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash merino, it comes in an array of watercolor-multi, semi-solid, and variegated colorways.
This is a hand painted yarn. Color variations are normal from batch to batch. Buy enough yarn to complete your project.

I enjoy visiting Apricot Yarn in San Diego when I visit the area. I’ve been a fan of Malabrigo Rios for many years. The skeins I bought at Apricot Yarn did not disappoint.

Enjoyed the shop, friendly and warm people!
Just started weaving and they are helpful at chosening yarns. Hard to find weaving materials around San Diego. Prefer to support local shops rather than ordering online.
