This base is virtually identical to our best-selling base — the regular dark yak we have carried for years. This one is just a little thicker. After cashmere, this yak base is the softest we offer and it is perfect for wool allergy sufferers because it does not contain sheep's wool and therefore no lanolin, which is often what people react to. 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 produces a lovely even result.
We work carefully on photo editing for our products and do our best to achieve the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, please be aware that colors can vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
