Merino Silk Yak 4-Ply – Undyed
- Yarn Notes
- Yarn Specs
-
A soft, warm, versatile and really pretty undyed yarn! It’s natural shade is a warm grey-brown, and we think it’s equally gorgeous nude or dyed.
Yak is an ultra-soft fibre which comes from the underside of sheared yak’s wool. As soft as cashmere, hypoallergenic with thermo-regulating properties. It’s also breathable and water & odour-resistant! Yak’s wool has a higher lustre than sheep’s wool and is beautifully lightweight.
The addition of silk makes this yarn strong and durable, as well as lustrous.
SW Merino gives body, elasticity and versatility – so this yarn is perfect for garments, shawls, socks – you name it!
