Rios by Malabrigo is a versatile 4-ply yarn that boasts a soft, strong, and washable composition. The multiple plies provide excellent resistance against pilling, making it ideal for frequently-worn items like garments, housewares, and children's clothing. As with all Malabrigo yarns, it offers exceptional softness and comfort, perfect for next-to-the-skin wear. Made from premium superwash merino, it is available in a wide range of tonal colorways.
Due to the unique hand-dyed nature of Malabrigo yarns, no two skeins are exactly alike. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins to ensure a consistent color flow.
