Luxury takes on new meaning with Lavender Sheep's hand-dyed yak blend. The natural gray/brown of the yak gives the hand-dyed colors a depth that you can't find with regular "white" wool bases. This yarn would be great for shawls and other luxurious accessory items! Fiber: 60 superwash merino, 20 yak, 20 silk Gauge: fingering (1), 7-8 sts/inch Needle: US 1-3 (2.5-3.25mm) Hook: B, C, D Weight: 100g (3.5oz) Yardage: 425 Care: hand wash, dry flat for best results **Note: Hand-dyed yarns vary from skein-to-skein and more so from batch-to-batch. We recommend that you purchase enough yarn at once to complete an entire project. Also, when using hand-dyed yarns in a project that requires more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins every other row to even out any differences.
