This base is identical to our best-selling base — the regular dark yak we have offered for years. This one is just a little thicker. After cashmere, this yak base is the softest we have, and it is perfect for people with wool allergies since it does not contain sheep's wool and therefore no lanolin, which is often what causes a reaction. This version is somewhat lighter and does not drape as heavily as the other base. It is perfect for sweaters, easy to knit with, and gives a lovely even result.
We do extensive image editing of our products and make every effort to present the most accurate depiction of the yarn. However, please note that colors may vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
