Caracol by Malabrigo
Benefits: A truly unique yarn! Malabrigo starts with a bulky thick-and-thin single made of their delightfully soft superwash merino wool, and then they 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 they've made before, inspired by a particular style of hand-spun yarn. Caracol knits up into a cozy, squishy fabric with a ton of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let it sing!
Note: Sometimes we get a mixed batch of un-named colors called Single Lots. To find out what colors we currently have available from these please call (360-756-9992) or email (shop@appleyarns.com) the shop and we can help you select the best one for your project.
