Open for preorder! Newest Addition: London Fog
Please allow 3-5 weeks for production
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.
Length: 230 yards / 210 meters

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 have made several items with Camellia's yarn and have been happy every time, best quality.
Your yarn is some of the best yarn I have ever used. I have made 10 sweaters with lots of your bases and will definitely be making more sweaters with your yarn! Your bases are perfect and colors are timeless.
I loveee Camellia Fiber Company. I've now knit three sweaters - and they are my absolute favorites! The quality of the yarn is unmatched - very little pilling, provides the necessary structure and consistency in colors! Recently tried Serene DK and just love the structure of this yarn! Hard to find great, drapery, vibrant NSW yarn and this will be my go-to moving forward. Looking forward to purchasing more!
I have looooved everything single yarn base of yours that I have tried, and I have used a lot of them. The way you use the color makes it feel like a neutral quite often and I love that! It allows the FOs to more easily mix and match with each other and with other clothes as well!
Your yarn is my absolute favorite! Every base I've ordered has been wonderful and the colors are always beautiful. I love your seasonal colors and always make sure to order at least one skein!
I love the quality, softness, and color consistency of all the Camellia Fiber yarns.
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.
I absolutely love your yarn! I'm about 70% done with the Weekender in Magic Sprinkles and the speckles are so crisp and the yarn is so soft.
I love every single base I've used and the colors are always on point. The dyes are so consistent that even the unevenly dyed sets I've bought on sale are workable in sweaters without much yarn management.
The CFC Organic Merino Sport is my FAVORITE yarn. So soft and squishy but still maintains shape.
