Meaning “six plies” in Spanish, Seis Cabos is meticulously crafted by tightly twisting each one of its 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.
Whereas most superwash yarns tend to get drapey and grow over time, Seis Cabos holds its shape very well. That high elasticity means that a garment will keep fitting without getting stretched out.
The 6 ply construction creates a very round yarn which shows off textured stitches and cables nicely while maintaining the Malabrigo Merino softness.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
