Meet Arroyo — Malabrigo's hand-dyed sport/DK weight yarn that brings together the luxurious softness of 100% superwash merino wool with the durability you need for everyday wear. Think of it as Rios' lighter, more delicate sibling: the same warmth and depth of color, with a breezier drape that's perfect for layering.

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, so no two are exactly alike. For beautifully blended color transitions, alternate skeins every few rows.
