YARN - Yak Merino Sport (50:50 Tibetan Yak and Superfine Merino Wool)
One word? Cozy.
MERINO WOOL: Creamy and soft and breathes as you wear it. Gives snuggly warmth.
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!
These two fibers combined creates a soft, touchable, slightly rustic yarn ideal for sweaters and accessories.

Beautiful and oh, so soft
This yarn is so amazing, you have to feel it to understand. I made a pair of fingerless mittens for me and a hat for my husband and we both love them.
Oyster Yak Merino
While I have bought all kinds of merino blend yarns, I must say that this Yak Merino blend is the absolute softest and I can't wait to work with it.

This is just what I wanted for a pair of fingerless mittens. The shade is perfect and this yarn base is simply amazing (so soft and silky).
