Default webs on rosemary

The rosemary I recently potted isn't doing well. It's leaves are losing
color and there appears to be some webbing covering the stems. Assuming
it's an insect, but not sure what it is or how to handle it. Soapy water
spray? I'm in the AZ desert, btw.

That sounds like spider mites. Spray the plant with hot water. That should
remove most of them. Repeat every few days until mites and webs are gone.
