The Details: A Versatile Artistic Essential

Arroyo sits comfortably between a sport and DK weight, offering the perfect middle ground for year-round knitting. It glides effortlessly over the needles, providing a "frictionless" knitting experience that is gentle on the hands. Because each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows for larger projects to ensure a seamless color flow. Whether you are knitting an heirloom shawl or a modern cabled cardigan, Arroyo provides the vibrant color and superior softness that have made Malabrigo a global favorite.
