Treasure Goddess Yarn is run from a red barn on a 10 acre homestead just south of Kansas City. Christine Long-Derks started dyeing yarn on a whim about 15 years ago - Her goal with dyeing is to create yarn that looks as amazing all knit up (crocheted up & woven up) as it does in the skein. Her logo is a Pirate Sheep and all her colorway names are pirate/ocean/mermaid related. Why a pirate sheep? Pirates sailed the seven seas searching the finest luxuries and having adventures. Christine sails the seven seas (of the internet and local fiber farms) to find the best fiber treasures.
Yak Silk DK Treasure offers stunning semi solid tonal saturated colors in soft luxurious yarn! Perfect for next to skin projects.
