Undyed yak products are a light brown grey. All are cooked with vinegar so they will knit the same as the dyed yarns.
The merino and yak blends that I use start out as a wonderful grey, which takes color well and offers a natural richness that brings warmth and depth to the colors. The yak is lightweight, while warm. The yarn is blended with either nylon or silk. The nylon is great for socks or as a substitute for other fine yarns. The silk in the other blends offers drape and a luxurious feel. Alpaca offers a lovely alternative to mohair for a fuzzy feel.
Only the yarn in the photographs is currently on hand; all others are dyed to order. Yarn is typically in the mail within 14 business days - yarn on hand is in the mail much faster.
