This yarn is as tough as a Wyoming buckin’ horse and softer than a summer sunset.
Malabrigo Rios isn’t your average hank of yarn. It’s a yarn with grit, spun from the fleeces of happy Uruguayan sheep to create a yarn fit for royalty (or ranchers, whichever you prefer).
This yarn is a 4-ply, worsted-weight yarn crafted from 100% superwash merino wool and can handle any project you throw its way.
The 4-ply construction means it’s built to resist pilling, so your creations will stay looking sharp after countless washes. And because it’s superwash treated, you can say goodbye to felting worries – toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and lay it flat to dry. That new sweater for Grandpa? It’ll stay looking brand new wash after wash.
From deep, earthy tones that reflect rugged mountains to vibrant variegated hues that are reminiscent of a meadow full of wildflowers, there's bound to be a Malabrigo Rios colorway to match your unique spirit. (And because it’s hand-dyed, each skein is a unique piece of art!)
Whether you’re looking to knit a cozy sweater for those chilly ranch nights or crochet a cuddly baby blanket that’s soft enough for the littlest wrangler, Malabrigo Rios is the perfect yarn for the job.

*Heads-Up, Pard!
Just like wranglin’ a heard of cattle, sometimes you gotta plan ahead. Since Malabrigo Rios uses different dye lots and even skeins within the same bag can vary slightly, be sure to order enough yarn to complete your project right from the start. This way you’ll ensure color consistency throughout your masterpiece.
