How the yarn behaves

Malabrigo Rios is a plied worsted-weight yarn made from superwash merino wool. The plied structure makes it soft yet strong, with good resistance to pilling and crisp stitch definition for cables, texture and colourwork. The kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colourways are richly multi-tonal. The superwash treatment makes it ideal for frequently worn garments, baby and children's clothes, housewares and accessories that need easy care, and it crochets cleanly into structured fabrics. Care: machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat. Alternating skeins is recommended to even out hand-dye variation across the finished project.
