Whales Road - Malabrigo Caracol - Super Bulky, Single Ply Rug Hooking Wool Yarn - Wool for Rug Making - 100% Merino
This listing is for 100% wool yarn to use for your rug hooking or punch needle projects. This wool is manufactured by Malabrigo Company in Uruguay and Peru.
Use this bulky weight yarn like you would wool fabric strips - comparable to a roughly 7/32" wide fabric strip or can be hooked double ply to cover more area! I use this yarn to achieve beautiful textures within my rug hooking projects. Great for fields, animals, flower patches, backgrounds and more!

From 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”
