Charlie — 75% Llama, Merino & Tencel DK Weight Yarn | Fehrenbach Fibers

Meet Charlie

FEH Checkmate’s Checkpoint Charlie — known simply as Charlie — is a special male llama born and raised right here at Fehrenbach Farms. His fleece anchors this beautifully balanced DK weight yarn: 75% llama for warmth and natural sheen, 22% merino for softness and structure, and 3% Tencel for a silky, moisture-wicking finish that makes the colorway luminous.

The result is a yarn that’s greater than the sum of its parts — smooth, drapey, and a genuine pleasure to knit.
