Malabrigo Caracol - Teal Feather

A truly unique yarn! Made with a bulky thick-and-thin superwash merino wool, and then criss-crossed with a binder thread (either black or white.) Then the yarn is kettle-dyed, like all of the other Malabrigo yarns that you know and love. Caracol knits up into a cozy, fluffy fabric with a ton of texture and visual interest. Simple stitch patterns really let it sing.
