Today's Shop Update includes 24 colourways on our popular Merino Silk Yak Fingering base.
This yarn is a stunning summer weight yarn, which is slightly cool to the touch due to the silk content. It is perfect for light weight summer garments, shawls and other special accessories.
The yarn is luxuriously silky and drapey, with good twist and a stunning natural grey-brown base colour due to the yak content. Further information about the base can be found here.
Colourways appear rich and heathered when dyed on this base.

I credit Helen Stewart and The Shawl Society for my love of shawls.
Back in 2016 when I was a relatively inexperienced knitter, it was the first Curious Handmade Shawl Society season which expertly guided me through the process of shawl knitting and demystified the art of lace knitting, perhaps now my most adored knitting technique.
We are thrilled to now share our yarn with you for the sixth and final shawl of The Shawl Society Season Five.
Please enjoy our presentation for The Big Wool Show 2021, where you'll get a little sneak peak of what yarns we will have in-store for you.
We love a good Westknits MKAL, it's one of the highlights of our knitting year.
And would you believe that the 2021 Shawlography MKAL is Stephen's 12th MKAL?
