Luxorious DK weight yarn base with silk and yak combined. Perfect for shawls, sweaters, hats and other knits. All the colors are quite dark because the yak fibers are dark, and the silk and yak combo makes all colors look amazing. Next to skin soft. Hand dyed in our home basement studio in small batches.
