Yak Wool Yarn - Antique Ruby Red - Fingering

Love the feel

I really loved the feel of the yarn while I was knitting. I felt the lanolin while I was knitting. I knitted up the Convertible Balaclava by Poppy Shop for my son to use snow boarding. I doubled the yarn. Should have made a size smaller after washing the hat when finished.

Easy to work with, dark intense color

I had never used this yak wool before but took a chance on it after seeing it reviewed on Bag-O-Day. I have started a knitted hat with it. It has a good tight twist, good stich definition, I am finding it a pleasure to work with. Its a great value. I am waiting to see how much it softens up after the hat is completed. This is a great company, they shop fast and its for a good cause. I feel good about purchasing from them, they also ship really quick too! I ordered a skein of their emerald green cashmere and am looking forwards to seeing how that works out.
