Malabrigo Rios Pisces Strikkegarn

Knitting yarn. Malabrigo Rios is a soft, durable 4‑ply yarn made from 100% superwash merino wool. It’s a true “workhorse” yarn — resistant to pilling, gentle on the skin, and perfect for everyday wear. Thanks to the superwash treatment, the colours are exceptionally rich, deep, and beautifully layered, whether you choose semisolids, watercolor‑style variegated shades, or bold multicolours.

Each skein is hand‑dyed in small batches, giving your project a unique, artisanal character. It’s an excellent choice when you want your handmade piece to feel truly special. Be sure to purchase enough yarn for your entire project, as dye lots vary and skeins may differ from one another. Slight variations may also appear within the same bag. For the most even colour distribution, work from two skeins at once, alternating every few rows.

Rios is ideal for accessories, sweaters, children’s and baby knits, home projects, toys, cables, textures, and colourwork. The resulting fabric is soft, elastic, and very comfortable even for sensitive skin.
