Truly a 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 handspun 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 boringBe sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag.
