Yak Wool Yarn - Mulberry Purple - DK

The nicest yarn I've ever used.

I bought this yarn before I even learned to knit, and I think it may have been why I kept learning, even though knitting is difficult for me. Working with the yak, especially, was very satisfying in hand, a "scrumptious" experience. The yarn is springy, squeezy, very forgiving. As a scarf, it's wonderfully warm, allowing me to skip a jacket on cool days. I am very attached to it, like a pet 😆 . I'm glad I didn't have a good idea of the various prices of other brands of yarn, because I would've hesitated. But John's yarn is well worth the price, (particularly when you join the yearly Kickstarter and benefit from the discount). For me, it just doesn't compare to anything else. I believe the fair & peaceful chain of acquisition, from herder to knitter, is part of what makes the yarn so pleasing. It seems to carry the positive energy, imprint of happy animal life and properly compensated herders all the way to your needle and even around your body.

Beautiful wool, beautifully spun, can’t wait to knit with it

So Soft and Squishy

Just got done knitting a hoodie and it's just so so soft and warm! The knitting process was a dream, too. Totally love this yarn. Making a cardigan for my mom next in a different color.
