"I buy this yarn all the time. The colors are rich and it holds its shape well after washing. It’s soft enough to wear right next to your skin. I make cowls that protect my son's neck and are long enough to pull up and cover his nose and mouth when it’s cold. I make shawls and scarves for Christmas presents for family and friends. I give them away as fast as I make them."

Award-winning yarn for creative projects

It is a good gauge and washable. It has a wonderful feel. The colors are beautiful, and the rate of change of colors makes it great for making anything. It is not stripey. For example, a plain sweater knit in it looks wonderful. It wears well and does not pill. I have used it for years and won ribbons at the state fair for all kinds of items made with it. I even won a ribbon for a bracelet made with color 'candombe', using a small leftover piece!

I have previous experience with Malabrigo Dos Tierras, which is a wonderful yarn. I'm making a large throw with this Malabrigo Rios Merino Worsted Yarn, as I needed a worsted weight, and it is fabulous. This is my new favorite yarn to work with. First of all, I love Merino, and the colors of both of these are incredible. It is soft, wonderful to knit on, and I can’t say enough about this brand. I really love working on very good yarn, which makes the knitting experience so much better. It’s...

Incredible feel and beautiful results

I chose it at an in-person store and have been using it ever since. I love the feel and the fabric. It’s so beautiful in the finished product. Wearing this nice wool is incredible. I made my first cardigan, which is now my favorite. I’m making a sweater for my husband! I haven’t washed the finished sweater yet, but when I washed the parts before seaming, it performed beautifully. My pleasure.

This is the second time I’ve used this yarn to make a baby afghan. It is soft and drape-y, perfect for my project. Especially love the softly-variegated colors. I only wish you had more pastels.

Lovely yarn to work with. Feels nice in the hands. Taking something out and working it again (when I read the wrong line in the pattern... yay inattention) was easy. No sticking. No shredding. Love the colors.
