Lang Yak
Yak is a beautiful, classic yarn. Available in a delightful range of jewel tones, and rich natural colours, it's so soft you'll want it next to your skin!
A single Yak produces a mere 100g of down a year…one average skein of fingering weight yarn, making it a rare and precious fibre. Hand-combed or plucked, this short fibre sits between the most luxurious fine Cashmere and softest baby Camel in micron thickness and has a similar butter-soft handle and gloriously gentle halo… however - it has the added benefit of pilling less than either fibre.
Yak is durable, breathable, lightweight and its incredible thermal properties keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Pattern suggestions: both Other Loops and My Favourite Things seem to love this yarn.
- 70% Extra Fine Mulesing-Free Merino Wool, 30% Yak
- 131 yards (120 meters) in 50 grams (1.76 ounces)
- 18.0 sts = 4 inches using 4.5 - 5.0 mm (US 7-8) needles
- Handwash, lay flat to dry
Pickup available at 12045 Ducharme Lane and is usually ready the next day.
