Properties of Yak:

This is yak down, the softest of yak fibers. 

-Warm: It has incredible insulating properties, which allow the animals to survive at extreme temperatures. 

-Soft: Incredibly soft... buttery is truly the word that comes to mind! Your fingers will thank you as you work with this!

-Strong: Surprisingly strong (stronger than wool), for durable, long-wearing projects.

-Breathable: Do you ever feel sticky in synthetic fibers? Not so with yak... it breathes! It wicks moisture away from your body and releases it into the air, thus allowing you to feel fresher (and smell better!). 

-Anti-Microbial: It doesn't attract the little microbes that live on sweat, so your garment stays fresher longer and won't get all stinky. Yay!

•Smooth machine-spun 2-ply lace weight (very different from our hand-spun 2-ply aran weight which is thicker with more irregularities)
•Yardage: 800 m / 874 yd - Whoa! So much yardage per skein that you could knit or crochet an entire shawl with just one skein. 
•Weight: 95-100 g (approx 3.5 oz)
•Recommended Knitting Needle Size: US 0-2
•Crochet Hook Size B-C 

You'll love the feel of this yarn. If you have wool allergies, yak down just might be your answer! The "scales" of the fibers lay in a different manner than wool, resulting in a fiber rivaling cashmere and qiviut in softness and comfort.
