Malabrigo Rios Pines 213 looks like somebody gathered up the deepest greens in the forest and tucked them into a hank of yarn. Rich pine, evergreen and shadowy forest blue-green tones shift throughout this beautifully moody colorway, giving Pines the depth of a woodland landscape rather than the flatness of a single solid green.
This is a green made for cozy, substantial projects. Picture a deeply textured sweater, a cabled hat pulled on for a walk in the woods, a handsome scarf or a pair of mittens that actually makes cold weather seem like a reasonable idea. Pines has enough color variation to bring simple stitches to life while still allowing cables, ribbing and textured crochet to show beautifully.
Spun from 100% superwash merino wool, Malabrigo Rios is a smooth, plump 4-ply worsted weight yarn known for its softness, stitch definition and versatility. It's sturdy enough for hardworking accessories and blankets yet soft enough for sweaters, scarves and other projects worn close to the skin.
Pines is also one mighty useful green. Pair it with creams and warm neutrals for a classic woodland palette, put it beside golds (hello Frank Ochre) and rusts for an autumn combination, or let it mingle with blues for something cool and woodsy. Then again, a whole sweater's worth of Pines wouldn't hurt our feelings one bit.

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.
