Malabrigo Caracol Salpicado 886 Super Bulky Yarn Thick Thin Superwash Merino Blanket Scarf Cowl

Malabrigo Caracol Super Bulky Superwash Merino Wool Yarn — Salpicado (Color 886)

Inspired by traditional hand-spun styles, Malabrigo Caracol is a truly unique super bulky yarn that creates a cozy, textured fabric with dramatic visual appeal. Crafted from delightfully soft superwash merino wool, each strand features a thick-and-thin single ply wrapped with a contrasting binder thread. When kettle-dyed in small artisan batches, the binder thread resists the dye to create a striking stained-glass effect. Salpicado (886)—meaning "splattered" or "speckled"—showcases a creamy neutral base sprinkled with vibrant bursts of multi-colored speckles, making it a fun, artistic choice for quick-knit winter accessories, chunky cowls, oversized scarves, cozy blankets, and statement home decor.

Bonus: Each yarn purchase receives a complimentary sample gift (one per order).

A Note on Batch Consistency & Photos:
Because hand-dyed super bulky yarns feature natural artisan variations from hank to hank and batch to batch, this listing features original photos of the actual hanks to showcase their true speckle placement and color saturation. Current inventory is pulled directly from the same matching batch to ensure consistency. For larger projects, purchasing enough yarn at one time and alternating skeins every few rows is recommended for a seamless finish.
Salpicado does not have a dye lot. This color reminds me of stained glass, simply beautiful.
