Some blues are just... blue. The color of a forgettable Monday, or a particularly uninspired pair of jeans. And then there's the blue of a midnight ocean, a bottomless lake, or the sky just after the sun has surrendered the last of its light. That, my friend, is Azul Profundo.
Malabrigo calls Rios its "workhorse yarn," and for good reason. But calling this yarn a workhorse is like calling a Clydesdale just a horse. Sure, it's strong. It’s plied to resist pilling, and it's machine washable, making it fantastic for items that will see a lot of love and life—from a favorite nephew’s first sweater to the hat you grab every single day.
But this yarn is also ridiculously soft. It’s spun from 100% premium superwash merino wool that feels like a gentle cloud against the skin. The color, Azul Profundo, isn't just a flat blue; it's a breathtaking, hand-dyed journey through deep teals, rich navies, and surprising flashes of brighter blues. It has a depth that commercially dyed yarns can only dream of.
It’s the perfect yarn for that sweater you'll wear until it's threadbare, the cowl that feels like a familiar hug year after year, or a snuggly blanket that will be fought over for generations.
