100% Baby Camel
5¾ stitches/inch US 5 (3.75 mm) needles
25 grams; 128 yards
Blithe is spun from the soft, warm undercoat of the two-humped Bactrian camel, not to be confused with the one-humped desert Dromedary camel. Bactrian camels live in cold climates; they originated in northern Afghanistan, and many live in Mongolia, tended by nomadic herders. In the winter, Bactrian camels grow a thick, warm coat to protect themselves from the cold.
Blithe is a luxurious light and lofty yarn, great for special cold-weather accessories and garments.
