mYak - Baby Yak Medium

Baby yak is the bedrock of mYak. Touching worsted-spun baby yak down is a unique experience: a precious fiber that creates a fabric different from anything else you have ever knitted before. Worsted-spun baby yak down yarn is a luxury fiber that will yield a fabric unlike anything you have knit before. Baby yak has a similar micron count around 17 microns to cashmere. It is warm and lustrous, lightweight and breathable, making it perfect through the seasons. mYak's baby yak colors are soft, heathered, earth tones combined with dark neutrals and few saturated rich ones. Most yaks are of darker shade, and thus light colors are very rare and even more precious. Warmer than wool, and as soft as cashmere, our 100% baby yak is the right choice if you are looking for a unique, ethically sourced fiber good for you, for the environment and for the community that produce it. mYak dyes on the natural basis, no bleaching or decoloring. Each color will vary from season to season depending on the shade of the natural fibers. Natural colors are Chocolate and Oatmeal.

It is like working with Cashmere. Incredibly soft without being floppy! It has great stitch definition, creates a lovely fabric and holds its shape even after blocking. It blooms so beautifully after blocking too! I'm a little obsessed with this yarn and can't wait to knit with it again! OMG! This yarn is something! It's amazingly soft yet has some structure. Sometimes soft yarn is so soft that it's better in a stockinette stitch or colorwork. This yarn can do it all. It has absolutely gorgeous stitch definition. I used it for a small textured scarf and just kept stopping to admire the stitches. It would be wonderful for any accessory and a total dream for a sweater. local_laundry_serviceWashability
