The most beautiful shine of silk infused with the softest camel.
The yarn is undyed and only comes in this beautiful soft warm Camel color. Photo shows the color but is taken from the lace quality which has a slightly clearer twist.
The fact that I haven't used dye, time and water keeps the price in line with my cashmere blend quality.
Camel Blend – Classic is a truly luxurious yarn from Fru Krogh—an exclusive blend of 50% baby camel and 50% silk, resulting in an incredibly smooth and soft yarn with a beautiful, natural camel color. It’s a yarn that speaks for itself: the natural, warm tone of the camel fibers blends with the silk’s characteristic sheen and drape, and the result is one of the most delicate yarns you can knit with.
Camel Blend – Classic is perfect for lace patterns and textured knitting because it has very distinct and beautiful stitch definition. Once the knit is blocked, it holds its shape beautifully and drapes wonderfully—perfect for light summer sweaters, T-shirts, and blouses that should fit elegantly and feel luxurious against the skin. It’s also Oeko-Tex certified, so you can knit with peace of mind.
Baby camel fibers are known for their extraordinary softness and natural insulating properties—they’re actually softer than cashmere. Combined with silk, which adds luster, strength, and a fantastic drape, you get a yarn that’s comfortable to knit with and produces a high-quality knit. The natural, mottled camel color gives the yarn an organic and exclusive look that is beautiful on its own, without any added dye.
This yarn is a 4-ply yarn with a yardage of 400 m per 100 g, making it a lovely yarn with plenty of possibilities. It’s especially well-suited for projects that call for a light and airy look—such as shawls, blouses, and summer knits with lace patterns. See also our Camel Blend – Lace, which is even finer, or our Cashmere Blend – Classic for another luxurious fiber combination. You can find plenty of inspiration for patterns on Ravelry.
With a gauge of 32 stitches / 50 rows on 2.5 mm needles, this is a lovely yarn that rewards precise knitting. If you’re knitting lace patterns, we recommend blocking your piece afterward—the silk in the yarn allows it to open up beautifully and hold its shape well. Always remember to knit a swatch and wash it before starting your project, as the yarn may change slightly when washed. Always wash gently by hand in lukewarm water.
