mYak Baby Yak - Medium

Baby yak is at the heart of this exceptional yarn. The fine baby yak down is worsted-spun, creating a smooth and elegant yarn with a beautiful drape and a truly distinctive feel.

With a fibre fineness of approximately 17 microns, baby yak can be compared to cashmere in softness. The yarn is warm, lightweight and lustrous, while remaining breathable. This makes it comfortable to wear throughout the seasons and ideal for sweaters, cardigans, shawls and other luxurious knitwear.

The colour palette mainly consists of soft, heathered earth tones and dark neutral shades, complemented by a selection of deep, rich colours. Most yaks have dark coats, making naturally light fibres rare and especially precious.

The yarn is dyed directly onto the natural base colour of the fibres, without bleaching or decolouring. As the natural fibre colour may vary from season to season, the finished shade may appear slightly lighter or darker than the colour shown. These variations are a natural and beautiful part of working with genuine natural fibres and make each dye lot unique.

Baby yak is warmer than ordinary wool and as soft as cashmere. It is an ideal choice for anyone looking for an exclusive and ethically sourced fibre, produced with consideration for people, the environment and the local communities involved in its production.
