Soft and strong, Malabrigo Rios is spun from premium superwash merino wool. A workhorse yarn, the plies help resist pilling while the washability makes it fantastic for frequently worn pieces. Rios is great for next-to-the-skin wear like accessories, garments, baby and kids items, and also for housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, colorwork, and more!

Per Malabrigo: Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project, as each bag is a different dye lot and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary from one another even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.

The same formula is used each time, but every batch of yarn varies. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle or extremely noticeable, especially on variegated yarns. After the quality control team checks the skeins, they go to the labeling section and are then put in bags of five or ten (depending on the yarn).
