Yak is known as one of the softest and warmest fibres in nature - but that also means it's super expensive! Lang Yak gives you the best of both worlds through a blend of merino wool and yak fibres for a soft and warm knitting yarn. We can't wait to use this to cast on warm sweaters, cozy hats, and even thick and quick shawls.
