A few recent orders have left us rich in Malabrigo Rios, a superwash worsted weight merino that gets a lot of love around here.
Malabrigo Rios:
- worsted weight
- 100% superwash merino wool
- 210 yards/100g
- $17 each
We have both solid and hand-dyed shades in stock, and Aimee Pelletier’s “Versa Cowl” is a great way to combine them.

“Versa Cowl” is a sampler of different slip stitch patterns and stripes, and can be worn folded in half for a double layer, as shown above.
Browsing projects on Ravelry, I saw many knitters had paired a solid or semi-solid shade of Rios with a more highly variegated shade for their “Versa Cowls,” a nice effect.
For sharper stitch definition and cleaner stripes, try solid or semi-solid color combinations.
Look for Rios in the worsted weight section here at our shop; we’re open from 11 am – 5:30 pm, Tuesdays – Saturdays. You can also order online for local pickup or shipping – thanks for your support of our shop!
