Imagine a soft blanket of morning fog, but instead of tiny, polite dots, this one has been artfully splashed with streaks of autumn color. That’s the magic of Malabrigo Rios Siri (#277). This hand-dyed beauty begins with a gentle gray base and then gets bold, expressive splashes of burnt orange, rich chestnut brown, and golden amber. It’s more like an artist’s confident brushstroke than a delicate sprinkle, giving each skein a dynamic and truly one-of-a-kind character.
Spun on Malabrigo’s legendary Rios base, this 4-ply worsted yarn is 100% Superwash Merino wool. It’s famously soft, impressively durable, and machine-washable—perfect for crafters who want their beautiful projects to be practical, too.
