Malabrigo Rios in #684 Camaleon

I don't buy yarn online very often, but since I have been trying to stay in as much as possible, I did. This yarn is nice, but it is a bit thin for worsted weight, and I was hoping the color would be more vibrant with more variation since it is hand dyed. It's a dark red, not what I would have thought for "cherry." And while it is soft, it is definitely on the pricey side. I don't think I'll be using it for the project I had in mind, and now I'm not sure what to do with it. Guess I'll have to brave an actual store to get what I want.

This yarn is pretty pricey. But it’s exceptional quality. Doesn’t pill, unravel or stretch when you’re working with it. The colors vary from skein to skein but the color spread in the skein means it looks gorgeous anyway and the slight variations are value added for me.Delivery was a bit delayed, but it was during the holidays with a pandemic so understandable.

I've never purchased any yarn, hand dyed or otherwise, and had the color all over my hands while I was winding and knitting with it. Contacted support and they stated that happens sometimes. Not impressed at all. Now to figure out how to soak this all to get the excess dye out... thanks.

the weight and texture of this yarn is very nice... it's a bit off from the color shown, but yarn and fabrics are tough for pics unless you have perfect lighting, etc... It's being used with some other yarns too (hand dyed , spun art yarns - needed some "bulk" with them ) , and it should blend in nicely... I'd most likely buy it again but I'd also like to be told ahead of time that I need to go and pick this up at my post office. I didn't get a notice from amazon, the seller or my post office that I needed to go and get it so it sat for 3 days... with USPS you never know what could happen, but I'm reading SH directions a LOT better now!

If you knit, you know Rios. Worsted weight with 100% merino. I don't remember if it is machine washable but I never machine wash hand knitted clothing items. This yarn is soft and not scratchy so good for even scarves, cowls and hats. it is tightly plied so has beautiful stitch definition. I bought the color 869 Cumparsita which is a dark purplish red and has a cool undertone. The knitted fabric actually looks a lot darker than the photo shows (at least on my screen) which is what I wanted.

I am very pleased with the yarn I received. It was exactly what I was looking for to complete a project but had been unable to find in stores. I appreciate how it was wrapped in paper, rather than an additional plastic bag. I was surprised to find a sweet hand written note inside. Very personalized experience.

I ordered this on a whim and I was NOT disappointed. The yarn is soft to the touch and works up like butter. The color and shade variations come on so quickly that you get a new one almost every stitch. I'm making a scarf in herringbone stitch and the color patterns in it are amazing. Now that I know how awesome it is, I'll be using a lot more of this yarn in my design work.

I purchased two skeins of the Malabrigo Rios Jupiter as a gift for my knit-obsessed sister’s birthday. USPS lost the package (not the seller’s fault!) and so I contacted Alpaca Direct to see if they could help. Not only were they quick to respond and incredibly kind, but they also let me choose a new color (I picked Malabrigo Rios Purpuras) to send as a replacement since the Jupiter color was out of stock. My sister got the replacement yarn today, and she is elated! The colors are vibrant and the yarn is soft. She can’t wait to make something awesome with it! Between their customer service and great yarn selection, I would absolutely buy from this seller again.

Lovely colour and comfortable to wear. Made a nice soft shawl. Excellent price.

It comes ALL TANGLED UP!!! UNUSABLE
