Malabrigo Seis Cabos - Black Forest

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.

Malabrigo is a family owned yarn company located in Uruguay.  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.
