MALABRIGO RIOS [100% Hand Dyed Pure Merino Superwash]

Malabrigo Ríos,
made in Uruguay

Malabrigo Ríos is a pure, hand dyed in muted hues, plied, machine washable Merino wool yarn. It is ultra soft and superb quality. Ríos is suitable for all kinds of fashionable hand knit garments and accessories: sweaters, dresses and wraps, jackets and cardigans, hats/scarves/gloves/mittens for ladies, men, and kids.

For information: Río means River in Spanish. Malabrigo Ríos is named after the four major rivers in Uruguay: Río Cuareim, Río Uruguay, Río de la Plata, and Río Negro. Each river is represented by one ply. These plies twist together like winding rivers. Ríos also signifies the yarn's washability.
