Soft, strong, and washable, this 4-ply worsted weight yarn is Malabrigo's workhorse, if such a work of hand-dyed art can be called that! The plies help resist pilling, and its washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, home decor, and even children's and baby clothes. Like all Malabrigo yarns, it is super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear. We've collected just a few of our favourite designs for you here on Ravelry, or substitute Malabrigo Rios into any pattern that calls for a worsted weight yarn.
