Malabrigo Caracol

Malabrigo Caracol is a highly textured yarn with a strong handspun look and feel. It is made from a hand-dyed thick-and-thin merino single, loosely wrapped with a fine black binder thread. The result is a lively yarn with great depth of color and rich visual texture.

Caracol knits up quickly and truly shines in simple stitch patterns. Stockinette, ribbing, and basic textures allow the yarn’s structure and color variation to take center stage. Despite its bulky appearance, finished projects remain light, soft, and airy rather than heavy.

This yarn is perfect for knitters who enjoy bold texture and organic character — every project will naturally look one of a kind.

Great for: scarves, cowls, hats, simple sweaters, statement accessories
Note: due to its construction, Caracol is less suited for intricate cables or highly structured designs.

As with all Malabrigo hand-dyed yarns, variations in color and thickness are part of its charm. We recommend purchasing enough yarn from the same dye lot and alternating skeins for an even finish.
