Malabrigo Caracol 096 Sunset

A truly unique yarn! We start with a bulky thick-and-thin single made of our delightfully soft superwash merino wool, and then we criss-cross it with a binder thread (either black or white.) Then the yarn is dyed one of our signature kettle-dyed colorways, and: poof! Something unlike any yarn we've made before, inspired by a particular style of hand-spun yarn. Caracol knits up into a cozy, fluffy fabric with a ton of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let it sing!Great for: Warm winter accessories, big cozy afghans, and stockinette that's far from boringGet inspired by all the great projects completed in this yarn on Ravelry »Check out pattern suggestions for this yarn on Ravelry »Weight: Super Bulky (5-6 wpi) Yardage: 90 yards (82 meters)Unit weight: 150 grams (5.29 ounces)Gauge: 9.0 sts = 4 inchesNeedle size: US 13 - 19 or 9 - 15mmHook size: 10mm (N/P) - 15mm (P/Q)Fibers:100% Wool - MerinoTexture: singles plied with binderMachine wash? yesAttributesCare: Dry Flat, Machine Wash, SuperwashColor: MarledConstruction: Thick and thinDye: Hand-dyedPut up: Winding requiredYarn originSource of fiber: Uruguay
