Please note that despite similar colors there can be differences in the colors of the yarn from the different batches. Therefore I strongly suggest you to buy enough amount of yarn.
It is absolutely normal that the yarn will seem harsh at first. But it will change its texture (fluffier, softer) after you wash it.
Please keep in mind that different computer/mobile/tablet monitors will display a color differently for a variety of reasons. Especially when it's a natural color.
Mongolian yak from Arkhangai province has really fine and soft fur. It lives in area where the temperature drops to -35°C in winter. As soon as your hand touches the fiber, you will feel its luxurious, soft and silky touch. You may even feel like you have cashmere in your hand as the texture is incredibly light and has the same softness.
Anything made from this premium wool will keep you warm and dry as their fibers do so for yaks in Mongolia. Breathable, quick-drying, comfortable even for long outings. Yak down fibers are hollow, allowing them to trap air and provide high warmth-to-weight ratios.
Yak down even outperformed Merino in independent laboratory testing boasting 40% more warmth, 66% greater air permeability, and 17% greater water vapor permeability than Merino wool fabrics.
