Introducing Malabrigo Caracol. This is a truly unique yarn! They 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 one of their signature kettle-dyed colorways, and poof! Something unlike any yarn they’ve made before, inspired by a particular style of hand-spun yarn. Caracol knits up into a cozy, fluffy fabric with a ton of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let it sing!
