Malabrigo Caracol is unlike any other yarn in the Malabrigo family. This wonderfully soft 100% Superwash Merino wool begins as a thick-and-thin single, then is wrapped with a fine contrasting binder thread before being hand dyed in Malabrigo’s vibrant kettle-dyed colorways.

The result is a lofty, textured super bulky yarn with incredible depth and character. Even simple stockinette becomes eye-catching, making Caracol perfect for quick gifts, oversized scarves, cozy blankets, and statement accessories.

If you love the look of artisan handspun without the inconsistency, Caracol offers the best of both worlds.

Hand-Dyed Beauty

Every skein is hand dyed in small batches, making each one unique. Variations between skeins and dye lots are a natural part of the dyeing process.

For larger projects, purchase enough yarn to complete your project and alternate skeins every few rows for the smoothest color transitions.
