Yak Fingering Yarn
Yak feels like cashmere and is warmer than wool. Blended with merino for bounce and silk for sheen, this 4-ply fingering is round and springy with crisp stitch definition. It comes in two undyed colors that come straight from the animals: Natural White from white yak, and Natural Gray from brown yak.
Length: 437 yards / 400 meters

Made with Camellia
I just cast on my Terrazzo sweater using Serene DK and it is working up so nicely! I'm obsessed with the feel of this yarn.
I bought several skeins of Sylvan DK at Flock and it has been an absolute dream to work with. I even needed a couple extra after the festival and you were so kind and willing to make that happen. The new skeins are from a different dye lot but are nearly identical to the others. The consistency in color is incredible and I can't wait to purchase more yarn from you!
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!
I made blouse no.1 out of Serene Fingering held double that I got at Flock, and it was a DREAM to work with. It's so soft, there's absolutely 0 itch whatsoever. Held double, the fabric is super plush and cozy without feeling too dense. I would LOVE to work it held single with a mohair bc oh my god that sounds incredible! So so happy y'all are adding Serene for purchase!
The new Serene line is so soft and cozy! If I didn't know it was non-superwash, I wouldn't know the difference. The quality is amazing and I'm looking forward to the yarn line expansion and future colorways!
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.
My very favorite base is Sylvan Fingering. It is a 3 ply fingering weight yarn comprised of Alpaca, Silk, and Cashmere. I love knitting shawls and wraps with it. There are so many gorgeous colors to choose from!
I love how soft and squishy the yarn is. The stitch definition is on point!
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.
Love all of your yarn! Tried the Serene DK after Flock and love it, too! Looking forward to the new site. And Bloom!
The Som DK in Rainbow Sprinkles is hands down the best base + color combo I've ever worked with. Like floating on a joyful cloud. πβοΈ
