Malabrigo Caracol

Truly a unique yarn! Start with a bulky thick-and-thin single made of delightfully soft superwash merino wool, and then criss-cross it with a binder thread (either black or white.) Then the yarn is dyed in signature kettle-dyed colorways, and: poof! Something unlike any yarn made before, inspired by a particular style of handspun yarn. Caracol knits up into a cozy, fluffy fabric with a ton of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let it sing!

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag and even skein to skein. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
