This is a lovely more softly twisted alternative to out other yak bases the linen is a very subtle addition but gives a gentle rustic edge to this yarn. This has a softer twist so it’s more suitable to garments and accessories, we would not consider it suitable for socks. The yarn takes the dye really well, and although subtle speckles can be achieved. We used a 2.75mm needle for the swatch, but you could go up to a 3.25mm.
