Malabrigo - Arroyo

Malabrigo Arroyo is a soft and sturdy plied sport/Dk weight 5/8ply 100% Superwash Merino Wool, Arroyo has quickly become a favourite among knitters! It’s perfect for those everyday lightweight (but warm) garments, and the superwash wool means it’s easy to take care of. Think of it as Rios’ baby brother! (And speaking of babies, it’s perfect for them too.)

Great for: Shawls, scarves, accessories, lace, textured stitches, cables, lightweight garments, baby and kids items.

Craft Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag! The other useful website is Yarnsub – great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites.

A note from Malabrigo Yarns – When they dye their yarns, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn is assigned a different dye lot number. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns.
