Malabrigo Rios

Malabrigo Rios 100% pure merino wool is soft, strong, and washable. This wool has a 4-ply ply construction, making it exceptionally durable. The wool is hand-dyed at a family-run business in South America. In addition to the hand-dyed colors, Malabrigo Rios is also available in Solids : solid colors without gradients. Ideal for projects where texture, stitch pattern, or color fastness are key, or for combining with hand-dyed Rios colors.

The wool is washable, making it ideal for garments that require frequent washing. Like all Malabrigo wool, it's super soft and comfortable to wear. Because the wool is hand-dyed, color variations may occur, so always order enough for your entire project. Colors may vary depending on your screen settings. If you have any questions, please contact us; we can provide you with additional photos.
