My go to choice
Rios is my go to yarn. Lovely colors. Plied but soft and smooth. Though it’s superwash it retains some bounce and gives great stitch definition for texture and cables. Stands up to use gets a slight halo but no pills.
Things to note color wise - it is hand dyed so there will be variance from hank to hank and batch to batch, sometimes large. Buy enough for your project - requests for single batch and/ or visual match are always handled correctly.

Beautiful yarn
Very soft. Gorgeous colors.
Single ply so it is prone to pilling with hard use. Treated gently it stands up way better than any other single ply I’ve worked with. Can withstand reknitting if you make mistakes and have to pull.
Things to note color wise - it is hand dyed so there will be variance from hank to hank and batch to batch, sometimes large. Also the Mecha tends not to absorb as deeply as Rasta or Rastita so some inner white will peek through. Especially so on the single tone colorways. For me this is a good quality and adds visual depth to the stitching. I feel it’s something to be mentioned as not everyone agrees with me though.

Excellent Chunky
This yarn is great for chunky projects of all types.
Very soft with lovely saturated color ways and a true chunky weight.
More tightly plied/spun than the majority of chunky yarns so it is my chunky weight go-to for cables and fancier stitching... I love Tosh Chunky too but it is a little thin and not soft as this.
