This base is identical to our best-selling base — the regular dark yak we have had for years. This one is just a bit thicker. After cashmere, this yak base is the softest we offer and it is perfect for people with wool allergies, since it contains no sheep wool and therefore no lanolin, which is often what causes reactions. This version is somewhat lighter and doesn’t drape as heavily as the other base. It’s perfect for sweaters, easy to knit with, and gives a lovely even result.
We do a lot of image editing on our products and we do our best to achieve the most realistic image of the yarn. However, please be aware that colors may vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
