Caracol

A truly unique yarn! We start with a bulky thick-and-thin single made of our delightfully soft superwash merino wool, and then we criss-cross it with a binder thread (either black or white.) Then the yarn is dyed one of our signature kettle-dyed colorways, and: poof! Something unlike any yarn we've 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!

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

**No Dye Lots. 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. Individual skeins are not labeled as to which bag they were in- there are no dye lots on the skeins. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball. 

We will always do our best to pick skeins that match, but for larger projects, please come in to see the skeins yourself, or email the shop to inquire about having us order the amount you need from Malabrigo.

Photos used are provided by Malabrigo and, due to the hand dyed nature of the yarn, are often slightly different than the actual colors.  Coming in to see this beautiful yarn in person is always your best bet to get what you want!
