Say Hello to the Amigas de Rosalinda — New Colors in Rios
We’re excited to introduce the Amigas de Rosalinda Collection — nine brand-new colorways in our best-selling Rios yarn base.
At the center of the collection is Rosalinda, a popular pink-toned color that has appeared across several Malabrigo yarn bases. Fun fact: Rosalinda was originally created at the request of an American intern who worked with us at Malabrigo. The name came from the soft rose tones that define the color.
Now, Rosalinda is joined by eight new shades:
Melissa, Zahara, Daphne, Celestina, Magnolia, Gardenia, Belinda, and Delphira.
Inspired by the classic ‘Rosalinda,’ this collection plays with a multicolored palette in subtle tones — a fresh twist on Malabrigo’s signature style. Together, they form a cohesive palette that’s perfect for colorwork, fades, or stand-alone pieces.
Like all Rios colors, these are hand-dyed on our 100% Superwash Merino wool, worsted-weight base — soft, strong, and ideal for everything from garments to accessories.
