Our Yak feels like cashmere and is warmer than wool. The yak fiber is naturally brown so every color dyes up deeper and richer. Blended with merino for bounce and silk for sheen, this DK is plump and round, with a 4-ply construction that makes cables and stitch definition pop. Perfect for sweaters, scarves, and hats.

Notes
Yak DK is seasonal and available only in fall and winter. Because it's 60% Superwash Merino, Yak DK relaxes and grows more after washing than non-superwash yarns. Wet-block your swatch, let it dry completely, and measure your gauge after blocking. Many knitters go down a needle size. Always dry your finished piece flat.

Made with Camellia
I purchased the Yak DK base and oh my god is it luscious. Its so soft to the touch, and holds its shape well. The stitches were very defined on the ribbing. I used a dark grey (Earl Grey), it has a delicate shine to it that I love. Colors were true to the photos, in my opinion.
I love your Yak yarn! It's such a dream to squish. I'm a bit particular about my yarn being soft on the hands and to wear, and CFC Yak definitely fits the bill.
All of the bases are beautiful but the yak dk is my absolute favorite. The yarn it's great to knit with and feels so soft next to skin. I bought chocolate and coffee and the colors were very accurate to the photos. Whatever you make with her yarn will quickly become a favorite to wear.
One of my favorite yarn dyers - I’ve knit with her worsted weight merino, yak dk, and fuzzy yak lace. The yarn is sooo nice to work with and the colors are always perfection.
Camellia Fiber Company makes some of the most beautiful yarns I have ever used! I especially love their Yak DK base. I’ve used the Yak DK to make two sweaters and they both turned out beautifully. The yarn comes in lovely colors and has a nice weight to it while still being incredibly soft. I highly recommend their yarns!
I just love all the CFC company yarn I’ve knit with (yak, silk mohair, som, merino chunky and merino dk), but my favorite is their suri alpaca. They are all incredibly soft and the colors are beautiful. Silbia is also the sweetest human and she puts so much thought into each and every skein.
