Yak Yarn Collection

Yak yarn is a premium natural fibre yarn known for its softness, warmth and excellent insulation properties. Yak wool yarns are commonly blended with fibres such as merino wool, silk or cashmere to improve elasticity, durability and stitch definition, making them suitable for a wide range of knitting and crochet projects.

Yak yarns are typically available in fingering, sport and DK weights, often knitting to gauge ranges of 20–28 stitches per 10cm on 3–4.5mm needles, depending on the blend and desired fabric. This makes yak yarn ideal for garments such as jumpers, cardigans and layering pieces, as well as accessories including shawls, hats and scarves.

Yak fibre is naturally breathable and lightweight while providing significant warmth, making it well suited to garments worn close to the skin. Yak yarn also offers a slightly heathered appearance due to the natural fibre colour, adding depth to both plain and textured knitting.
