Malabrigo have definitely thinned out Rios yarn so that it is now almost DK weight. Presumably this is save money/keep the price down. It is very disappointing. I have several lots of RIos from a number of years ago which are much heftier than the current batch.
Excellent customer support, beautiful product.

Soft, strong, and washable, this worsted weight yarn is Malabrigo's workhorse! The plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, housewares, and children and baby clothes. And like all of Malabrigo's yarns, it’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash merino, it comes in an array of watercolour-multi, semi-solid, and variegated colorways.
Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and kids items, housewares, toys, cables, textured stitches, colorwork.
