Arroyo Yarn by Malabrigo is 4-ply 100% Superwash Merino Wool. This soft and sturdy, sport-weight yarn has beautiful stitch definition and knits up nicely into lightweight garments and accessories. Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since skeins from different dye lots may vary. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating every few rows. Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project.

How much Arroyo Yarn do I need?

Enter the total yardage your pattern lists for your size — most patterns give it per size. We divide by the yards in one skein, round up, and add one to hedge against a tight gauge.

More from Malabrigo

Malabrigo is a family-run dye house in Uruguay, and its kettle-dyed merino is the yarn people mean when they say "hand-dyed": every skein shifts through its colourway, no two exactly alike. Rios is the plied superwash worsted — machine-washable, crisp stitch definition, the Malabrigo for sweaters that get worn hard. Malabrigo Worsted is the original single-ply: softer, loftier, non-superwash, and the one to felt.

Below worsted, Arroyo is superwash merino at a sport-DK gauge for shawls and lighter garments, Caprino blends merino with cashmere, and Verano is hand-dyed pima cotton for summer. Rasta is the super-bulky single — a hat in an evening. We keep dye lots together on every Malabrigo order and stock the colour cards knitters ask for by name.
