This yarn is the ultimate in luxury. Dyers are sometimes put off by the dark base colour of this yarn, however dyes can look absolutely wonderful on it. We recommend semi-solids or hand-paints for this yarn as speckles will not show up. The resulting knitted fabric is exquisite. It has a soft drape and a gentle halo from the yak. Please see our notes on dyeing silk.
Thanks to Coastal Colours for letting us use their stunning, dyed yarn to show you how well it works!
