Rios | 100% Merino Wool
Soft, sturdy, and easy to care for—this 4-ply merino yarn is ready for anything!
Its multi-ply construction helps minimize pilling, while the superwash finish means it’s machine washable—perfect for everyday garments, cozy home projects, and little ones’ knits. Like all our yarns, it’s wonderfully soft and comfortable right against the skin.
Made from premium superwash merino wool, this yarn is available in a gorgeous range of hand-dyed shades—from watercolor-inspired multis to gentle semi-solids and lively variegated tones.
Ideal for: sweaters, shawls, baby and children’s clothing, blankets, accessories, toys, cables, textured stitches, and colorwork.
Because each batch is hand-dyed, color variation is natural. We recommend purchasing enough yarn for your entire project at once. Even skeins from the same dye lot may show slight differences, so for the most even look, alternate between two skeins every few rows.
Our dye process follows the same recipe each time, but every batch develops its own unique personality—sometimes subtle, sometimes striking, especially in the variegated shades. After careful inspection and labeling, skeins are packed in small batches before heading to stores, where they can easily mix on the shelves.
Please note: colors shown are for reference only and may vary slightly due to the hand-dyeing process. Colorways marked with an asterisk (*) are dyed using an industrial process.
