Malabrigo Seis Cabos means "six plies" in spanish, and is meticulously crafted by tightly twisting each one of its six plies. This process creates a unique texture and offers greater strength and resilience to the yarn, ensuring every creation stands the test of time. Its one-of-a-kind construction not only guarantees great stitch definition but also provides a lovely drape to every project. Seis Cabos has a high elasticity and holds its shape very well, which means that your finished garment will hold its shape very well and not get stretched out over time.

Their wool is 100% produced by Uruguayan farms that allow their free-range sheep to wander through the hills and are herded by old-style shepherds. They do not participate in the controversial practice of mulesing and sheep are sheared pre-lambing. They are committed to achieving the highest standards of ethical sheep husbandry. They also own and operate a second mill based in Peru.
