Malabrigo | Arroyo Yarn | Sport Weight Superwash Merino

Soft, strong, and full of personality — Arroyo is a plied sport-weight yarn that combines the luxurious feel of 100% superwash merino wool with the durability you need for everyday wear. Hand-dyed in rich, nuanced colorways, every skein tells its own story through gentle tonal shifts and depth of color.

Perfect for shawls, scarves, accessories, and lightweight garments, Arroyo is also a go-to for baby knits thanks to its soft touch and easy-care nature. Think of it as Rios’ lighter, more delicate sibling — offering the same warmth and quality with a breezier drape.

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