This lovely soft, smoothly-plied 10ply worsted weight yarn comes in a wonderful range of hand-dyed semi-solid, variegated and watercolour multi colourways. Plus, new in - the Zodiac Collection - we all need yarn in our own star sign!
Malabrigo Rios has become a true favourite, for good reason. This 10ply / worsted weight is a soft, smoothly-plied yarn, which comes in a wonderful range of hand-dyed semi-solid, variegated and watercolour multi colourways. With four plies twisted together, it helps resist pilling, and the machine washability makes it a fabulous choice for frequently worn garments, homewares, and child or baby clothes.This lovely yarn is great for accessories, garments, baby and kids items, homewares, toys. It looks amazing in textured stitches, cables and colourwork.
New in! The Zodiac Collection
Our new Malabrigo Rios Zodiac Collection is twelve colourways, one for each star sign – designed by Flor of the Malabrigo design team, who drew her inspiration from her passion for tarot cards and astrology. For every sign, Flor built a mood board around the personality traits of the people born under it, then translated that into a colour palette and finally into a skein. Take Pisces – a fanciful, dreamy sign – so she reached for the light blues, purples and pinks of fantasy and mythical creatures, with a deep sea-green running through for Pisces the water sign.
It makes for a wonderfully personal collection. Choose the skein that matches your own sign – or, if you love your astrology, pick up your moon and rising signs too and knit a little set of colours that together tell your whole story.

Note: Please be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project. Each bag of 10 skeins is a different dye lot, and skeins may even vary from bag to bag and, even within the same bag, skeins can vary wildly! It's the nature of hand-dyed yarns and we always try to choose the skeins that match the closest to each other when you order multiple skeins.
To ensure random colour distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
Malabrigo Rios is made with 100% Uruguayan Merino wool. Uruguay has one of the biggest wool supplies in the world and is of an extremely high quality, especially in regards to softness. Malabrigo wool is produced by Uruguayan farms that allow their free-range sheep through the hills and are herded by actual old-style shepherds. The practice of mulesing does not exist in Uruguay.
