I am finding that to be a consistant problem with Rios. One skein was only 93g so if 100g equals 210yds, 1g equals 2.1yd and a shortage of 7g is a shortage of 14.7yds. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft, quality yarn in unbelievable colors. *by P***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019* Be sure to buy all the hanks you think you may possibly need for your project. I bought 3 hanks from two different suppliers. The color first hank of "Iris" was just as you might expect: mostly purples, with a little green. Gorgeous. The two hanks I subsequently bought in Iris looked absolutely nothing like the first hank. Very little purple, mostly green shades. The shawl I made was ---well---hideous. I spent days crocheting it, and hate to throw it out. Besides, Malabrigo yarns are pricey. Anybody want a lacy shawl that's 1/3 purple, and 2/3 green?? Going cheap! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful !!!! *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2018* This is the best yarn I’ve ever tried yet.Very soft, not itchy at all, it’s a very nice strong thread. It won’t break, well made!Also, just FYI because it’s a handdye yarn the color on each yarn might be a little bit different, or might not. It depends, but it’s nothing serious.Very easy to knitt with. I’m working on sweater and it looks very colorful!You can use 6-8 needle size, that’s what they suggest. I have Chiaogoo needles, I knitted a small piece of it to see what size is better for knitting and figured that for making a sweater size 5 gonna work great. But also, because I’m xsmall size and I want it to be more tigh.It’s all up to you what needles you want to use. And yeah, before start doing any projects knitt a sample of this yarn, so you can see how it’s gonna work.I definitely recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/184873005-yarn-rios-whole-grain-696](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/184873005-yarn-rios-whole-grain-696) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
