Malabrigo Rios is one of those yarns that seems to have been around for ever. Whilst it is always exciting to try the next exciting new thing it’s definitely worthwhile revisiting Malabrigo Rios. It has been around a long time for a reason. A hearty 4ply worsted weight super wash merino yarn it has a lovely round structure which is very satisfying to knit with. It is also extremely well priced for a hand dyed yarn which gives any garment or accessory extra interest.

This smooth and soft yarn is perfect for garments and accessories and shows off texture, lace and cables equally well because of its crisp stitch definition. This means that it is probably not ideal for colour work. Due to the hand dyed character of the yarn it is recommended that for larger projects two skeins are stranded together.
