Malabrigo Arroyo

Malabrigo Arroyo is a beautifully soft, hand-dyed sport/DK-weight yarn in Malabrigo's signature colors. Spun from 100% superwash merino wool, Arroyo's four-ply structure has excellent stitch definition, a smooth drape, and a lively hand that's both comfortable next to skin and easy to work with.

This versatile yarn sits right between sport and DK weight, making it a great choice for everything from lightweight garments to shawls, scarves, and baby clothes. Its generous yardage and hand-dyed colorways give each project a unique look — rich with tonal shifts and subtle variation that feel beautifully handcrafted.
