If you’re hunting for a yarn that feels like home and adventure in one, Coco delivers. Malabrigo Rios Coco (#624) is all deep espresso, driftwood, and gentle taupe, marling together in a way that’s part forest retreat, part worn-in jeans. Coco channels the richness of a morning cup of coffee—and knits or crochets up into understated stunners.
Hand-dyed in Uruguay on the ever-popular Rios base, Coco offers pill-resistant softness and crisp stitch definition, perfect for showing off simple textures or complex cables. Whether you’re making a go-to hat, a pair of cozy fingerless mitts, or a neutral sweater that’ll see you through every season, this colorway is a breath of fresh (forest) air.
