Rios by Malabrigo

Soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply yarn is our workhorse! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. Rio is super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash merino. 

Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids items, housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, colorwork.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. In the tagged (*) colors, the skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.

Malabrigo Rios

I have made beanie hats for my son and daughter-in-law. They are delighted with them. Son has bought more yarn, so he can have another. Colors are so bright and cheerful in the cold spell. Soft and warm to the touch, but yarn has a good twist.

Super Helpful Staff

I'm a new knitter and I was that the staff was so kind and helpful. They took time to explain everything to me. I came in for yarn and left with so much knowledge. Really great place. I will definitely be back.
