    Merino Silk Yak 4-Ply - Undyed

    • 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!
