We love our Oh Dang yarn so much, we had to dye a DK version too! Blended with silk for strength, Oh Dang! DK adds a fluffy halo to what you are stitching. A great alternative to those who are sensitive to Mohair but still want to get the feathery texture in your knits. Oh Dang! DK does differ from the fingering/lace weight version, with more Alpaca and less silk. It also is spun up a bit more like a boucle yarn which makes for an entertaining knit!

- We love using this yarn for shawls, cowls, sweaters, and holding double with other yarns.
- It pairs beautifully with all our bases, especially Juicy DK and Squish Bulky!
A few notes on Oh Dang! DK
The natural fibers of this yarn will shed. We found using a lotion bar on our hands while knitting with Oh Dang DK helps maintain the fuzz without making the yarn greasy. Check out FDF's lotion bars here
The colors transcend onto this fiber in unique ways, the silk sometimes picking up different shades and color tones than the Suri. This can result in a slightly variegated look, but will not be as obvious when knit up.
