Some yarns need color to make a statement. Malabrigo Rios Natural 063 doesn't. This warm, creamy neutral has that wonderfully simple, woolly look that feels right at home in everything from a heavily cabled sweater to a cozy farmhouse-style throw. It's quiet without being plain; the kind of yarn that lets beautiful stitches do the showing off.
Natural is especially lovely when you want the texture of your knitting or crochet to take center stage. Cables, seed stitch, ribbing, crochet texture, and intricate stitch patterns all stand out beautifully against its soft cream background. And if you're planning colorwork, Natural makes a terrific companion to Malabrigo's deeper, more adventurous colorways.
Then there's Rios itself. Spun from 100% superwash merino wool, Malabrigo Rios is a smooth, plump 4-ply worsted weight yarn with beautiful stitch definition and that unmistakable Malabrigo softness. It's substantial enough for hardworking hats, mittens, and blankets, yet soft enough for sweaters, scarves, and other projects you'll wear close to the skin.
Natural 063 is a yarn-cabinet workhorse: warm cream, wonderfully versatile, and unlikely to sit around wondering why you bought it. Use it alone for a timeless neutral project, pair it with earthy shades for a rustic palette, or put it beside one of Malabrigo's saturated colors and let the contrast shine.

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 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.
