The newest addition to the beautiful hand dyed Malabrigo yarns, Caracol is a truly unique yarn with a bulky thick-and-thin single ply made of super soft superwash merino wool and crisscrossed with a binder thread (either black or white). While still dyed in Malabrigo signature colorways, this is unlike any yarn they have made before, and was inspired by a particular style of hand-spun yarn.
Caracol knits up into a delightfully fluffy fabric with a ton of texture. Simple stitch patterns really show off what makes this yarn unique! Ideal for knitting warm, cozy garments and accessories or woven into beautiful tapestries and wall art. Being as this yarn is hand-dyed, each skein can vary in color, even in the same dye lot.Â
Every digital screen is calibrated differently. Slight variations in tone and saturation will vary from screen to screen. The actual color of your item may vary slightly from what you see on your screen.
Please make sure you order enough for your project as dye lots can vary between batches. Due to the nature of Hand-Dyed yarns every skein is unique.
