Malabrigo Rios Frank Ochre 035 brings the golden side of autumn to your needles. Rich ochre, warm mustard and burnished golden-yellow tones mingle together in a colorway that feels earthy rather than bright; think late-afternoon sunshine, turning leaves and that perfect old wool sweater you wish you'd found tucked away in a cedar chest.
This is a color that knows how to get noticed without hollering about it. Frank Ochre adds warmth and depth to knitting and crochet, whether you use it for an entire sweater, work it into a cozy hat or cowl, or pair it with deep blues, forest greens, warm neutrals, and other earthy shades for colorwork.
100% superwash merino wool, Malabrigo Rios is a smooth, plump 4-ply worsted weight yarn with beautiful stitch definition and that unmistakable Malabrigo softness. Cables and textured stitches show up beautifully, while the subtle variation within Frank Ochre gives even simple stockinette and crochet stitches plenty of character.
If your yarn basket tends to lean toward the sensible neutrals, Frank Ochre is an awfully good way to misbehave just a little. It's warm, wearable, and wonderfully easy to combine with other colors, but has more than enough personality to carry a project all by itself.

A note about Malabrigo: Part of the charm of Malabrigo yarn is its beautiful variation. Hanks may vary within a dye lot, so we recommend purchasing enough yarn for your entire project at one time. When working with more than one hank, alternating hanks every few rows will help those variations mingle beautifully throughout your project.
