Malabrigo Arroyo Sport
SKU: AR005
$21.20 USD
: 005 Aniversario
A soft and sturdy plied sport-weight, Arroyo has quickly become a favorite 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 a 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. Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. In the tagged (*) colors, the skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball. Being as this yarn is hand-dyed, each skein can vary in color, even in the same dye lot.

Every digital screen is calibrated differently. Slight variations in tone and saturation will vary from screen to screen. The actual color of your item may vary slightly from what you see on your screen.
Please make sure you order enough for your project as dye lots can vary between batches. Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarns, every skein is unique.
