Malabrigo Caracol

Malabrigo Caracol – Super Bulky Hand-Dyed Merino Yarn

Caracol is truly one of a kind. Malabrigo starts with a bulky thick-and-thin single spun from their delightfully soft superwash merino wool, then criss-crosses it with a binder thread (black or white) before kettle-dyeing it in one of their signature colorways. The result is a yarn unlike anything else — cozy, squishy, and full of organic texture and visual interest that makes even the simplest stitch patterns sing.

At 90 yards per 150g hank, Caracol knits up quickly into warm, textured fabrics perfect for chunky cowls, hats, and cozy home accessories.

Note: We occasionally receive mixed batches of un-named single-lot colors. To find out what colors are currently available, call us at 360-756-9992 or email shop@appleyarns.com — we’re happy to help you find the perfect colorway for your project.
