This yarn is exquisite with the natural undertone of the Yak, this base is dark and rich, it is soft and silky and looks beautiful in the skein. Despite being a darker base this yarn dyes really well and dyeing on top create rich deep colours. Speckles will spread, but they still work to create subtle flecks in the yarn. This base lends itself to hand paints and semisolids as the colours merge together seamlessly.
The fabric knits up into a velvety super soft fabric, with a wonderful drape, this would work well for luxury shawls and sweaters. It would make nice hats, but you would need to go down in needle size to create a firmer fabric.
