Malabrigo Caracol Yarn
Product Description
Add some texture to your life with this super bulky superwash yarn!
From Malabrigo:
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 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!
Great for: Warm winter accessories, big cozy afghans, and stockinette that's far from boring
When we dye our yarns, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn may vary. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns. The colors shown in photos are illustrated as reference, as mentioned above, they can differ on more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.

*Heads-Up, Pard!
Just like wranglin’ a heard of cattle, sometimes you gotta plan ahead. Since Malabigo Yarns does not do dye lots and even skeins within the same bag can vary slightly, be sure to order enough yarn to complete your project right from the start. This way you’ll ensure color consistency throughout your masterpiece.
