Our Simply Camel couldn't be simpler. 100% undyed baby camel fiber, there is only one choice: yarn the way the animals grew it. 

About This Yarn

• Incredibly soft with a beautiful drape and a desert glow, Simply Camel is a wonderful choice for classic sweaters, heirloom scarves, and all-time favorite hats.
• This beautiful baby camel yarn is a 2-ply, fingering-weight with a lofty spin that blooms satisfyingly when you block your finished piece.
• Simply Camel comes from camels who live freely in unfenced pastures. Once their fibers are cut with scissors, brushed with combs, or gathered from the ground, they are sorted for quality and sent to a scouring mill that uses APEO-free detergent and processes wastewater twice to protect the ecosystem.
• Simply Camel may be simple, but its beauty runs deep... Explore our knitting patterns for Simply Camel, and enjoy this special knitting experience!
