Understory


Named for its woodsy character and shadowy palette, our Understory makes a wonderful addition to your own family’s story: a cherished baby blanket, a well-worn sweater, a favorite hat. A stunning mixture of 50% baby alpaca, 25% baby yak, and 25% silk, this light worsted weight yarn is remarkably soft and squishy, but also surprisingly light, keeping you warm without weighing you down. All colors of Understory start with naturally yak-colored yak, which results in a warm underlying nut brown that casts the palette in a luminescent glow… A beautiful vehicle for telling your story! Although we no longer sell Understory, we do have lots of great substitutes that are available and in stock. Check out our yarns with similar gauge and fiber!
