Malabrigo Rios

Soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply yarn is a workhorse! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. And like all Malabrigo yarns, it’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear. Spun from premium super wash merino, it comes in an array of watercolor-multi, semi-solid, and variegated colorways. Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids' items, housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, color-work. Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other 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.  Worsted weight; 4 ply; 100% super wash merino wool; 210 yards (192 meters), 100 grams (3.53 ounces) Gauge: 18.0 to 22.0 sts = 4 inches Needle Size: US 6 - 8 or 4 - 5mm Hook Size: US I-9 to K-10/12 or 5.5-6.5 mm
