    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.

    Friendly and helpful!

    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.

    Marvelous Malabrigo

    Love love this yarn! A pleasure to knit; very silky like and comes in so many beautiful colors. My choice is a green that looks like a meadow.

    Great Yarn Store

    I was very much pleased to see so much different yarn at the store. We are originally from IL and we were visiting CA. I was very disappointed not finding many yarn shops in the southern part of CA. Well, I found the Apricot store very satisfying, full of different quality yarns and projects. The owners, Mother and Daughter were very knowledgeable in their business. I am so glad I found them in San Diego!!
