Tonal kettle-dyed colors give this charming yarn rich jewel tones and an intense luster reminiscent of priceless gems. This single ply sport weight yarn is spun from a delicate blend of merino and yak. Fabric made from Yakima will be decadently soft and slightly fuzzy. This yarn is truly a unique gem, and with a generous 384 yards per skein, you can make a cozy cowl with only 1 skein, or a luxurious sweater with 4 - 5 skeins.
