Malabrigo Rios – The Ultimate Washable  Worsted

Meet your new go-to yarn. Malabrigo Rios is the workhorse of the Malabrigo lineup — a 4-ply, 100% superwash merino worsted weight yarn that delivers everything knitters and crocheters love: incredible softness, rich hand-dyed color, and the practicality of machine washability.
