Malabrigo Rios Pines Yarn

Malabrigo Rios Yarn – Hand-Dyed Superwash Merino Wool (Worsted Weight)
Color: Pines - a slightly variegated green yarn

Malabrigo Rios is a premium, hand-dyed yarn made from 100% superwash merino wool—beloved for its incredible softness, durability, and vibrant colorways. This worsted weight yarn is perfect for everything from cozy hats and scarves to sweaters and everyday garments.

This yarn features a 4-ply construction, which gives it exceptional strength and helps prevent pilling. That means your finished pieces will hold their shape and continue looking beautiful—even with frequent wear.

Unlike lower-quality wool, Malabrigo Rios is ultra-soft and not scratchy, making it a great choice for wearables.

Care Instructions:
• Machine washable (gentle cycle, cold water). You can also hand wash. Use wool safe detergent.
• Lay flat to dry

Because each skein is hand-dyed, slight variations in color are part of what makes this yarn so special. If you'd like to choose your exact skein, feel free to message me—I'm happy to send photos of current stock in your selected colorway.

Hank vs. Cake – What’s the Difference?

• Hank: Yarn in its original twisted loop form. It must be wound into a ball before use. Many knitters prefer hanks for storage and long-term yarn quality.

• Cake: Yarn that has been wound into a flat, center-pull ball using a yarn winder. This allows you to start knitting right away without additional prep.
