  • Yak Single

    Smooth and silky in the hand, Yak Single pairs a gentle touch with a luminous sheen. Its blend of 65% ultrafine Merino, 20% Mulberry silk and 15% yak is spun as a single-ply fingering yarn. The natural grey of the yak gives our colourways a deeper, smokier character, with the silk’s lustre catching the light across the knitted surface.

I’m planning on using this yarn in Joji Locatelli’s Lace and Fade Boxy. I’m going to have to make a swatch to see how it works. It is a finer fingering weight than I had anticipated. I want to stripe it with Purl SoHo’s Wigeon. Also it looks to be super saturated with dye. Another reason to swatch. Also it says on the label to wash before use. Does that mean before knitting or before wearing?
