A truly unique yarn! Malabrigo start with a bulky thick-and-thin single made of our 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 other yarn. Caracol knits up into a cozy, fluffy fabric with a ton of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let it shine.
