Caracol by Malabrigo

"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 boring Fiber Content: 100% Superwash Merino Wool Yarn Weight: Super Bulky Gauge: 9 sts = 4 inches Needle Size: US 13 - 19 or 9 - 15mm Hook Size: US N/P/15 to P/Q or 10 - 15 mm Skein Weight: 150 grams Yardage: 90 yards (87 meters) Care: Machine washable, gentle cycle, cold water, do not tumble, dry flat
