Malabrigo Caracol

A truly unique yarn! Starting with a bulky thick-and-thin single of delightfully soft superwash merino wool, Malabrigo criss-crosses it with a binder thread (black or white), then kettle-dyes it in one of their signature colorways. The result? Something unlike any yarn they've made before — cozy, fluffy, and full of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let Caracol sing.

Great for: Warm winter accessories, big cozy afghans, and stockinette that's far from boring.

A Note on Hand-Dyed Color

Because Caracol is hand-dyed, each skein is unique. Dye lots can vary subtly or noticeably — especially on variegated colorways. Purchase enough yarn to complete your project, as skeins from different bags may differ. To ensure even color distribution, alternate every few rows between two balls.
