Camellia - Yak DK
per 100 g skein · 230 yd
From the maker: Camellia Fiber Company
Our Yak feels like cashmere and is warmer than wool. The yak fiber is naturally brown so every color dyes up deeper and richer. Blended with merino for bounce and silk for sheen, this DK is plump and round, with a 4-ply construction that makes cables and stitch definition pop. Perfect for sweaters, scarves, and hats. 60% SW Merino Wool, 20% Silk, and 20% Yak. Mill spun. 230 (210 meters)
