About baby yak:
Baby yak is the finest undercoat fibre which comes from the first shearing of the yak. It is as fine as cashmere, and because the longest fibres are selected for worsted spinning this reduces pilling. Baby yak is hypoallergenic and lanolin-free.

We recommend that you wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together.

With hand dyed yarns we recommend alternating skeins every couple of rows/rounds if using more than one.
