Caracol - Fortaleza

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!

Caracol works great for warm winter accessories, big cozy afghans, and stockinette that's far from boring

*Please note that all skeins are carefully hand painted in small batches.  The colors in the skein you receive may vary slightly from the colors shown in the photo.
