Malabrigo is loved world wide. Their trademark colors, softness and affordability are surpassed in Rios. Finally a merino superwash worsted fiber. Rios is the same fiber as the sock yarn in worsted weight. The 4 ply merino superwash is so soft, squishy and can be machine washed. Rios is so versatile, use it in throws, for kids, babies, mittens, shawls, hats, sweaters and scarves.
