About the Yarn:
Malabrigo Rios yarn is a workhorse, but you'd never know it from the soft feel of the skein.
Here's why we LOVE this yarn:
1. The colors & softness! Each hand-painted skein is a wonder to behold. It's never a bad idea to knit and crochet with a yarn you don't want to put down.
2. This yarn is plied—made from multiple strands twisted together—lending it durability and making it less likely to pill.
3. Generous yardage makes this yarn an affordable splurge.
4. It's machine washable!

Note: Malabrigo Rios is hand-dyed by artisans in groups of 10 skeins. Any order greater than 10 skeins will contain different dye lots, and skeins may vary even within the same dye lot. Be sure to buy enough yarn for your project at the same time. To blend color variations, alternate between two skeins as you knit or crochet.
