This base is virtually identical to our best-selling base — the regular dark yak that we have offered for years. This one is just a bit thicker. After cashmere, this yak base is the softest we have and it is perfect for wool allergy sufferers, since it does not contain sheep's wool and therefore no lanolin, which is often what people react to. This version is somewhat lighter and does not drape as heavily as the other base. It is perfect for sweaters, is very easy to knit with and gives a lovely even result.
We do a lot of image editing on our products and we do our best to achieve the most true-to-life picture of the yarn. However, please be aware that colors may vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
