Baby Yak Medium

Baby yak is the bedrock of mYak. Touching worsted-spun baby yak down is a unique experience: a precious fiber that creates a fabric different from anything else you have ever knitted before. Baby yak has a micron count around 17 microns, similar to cashmere. It is warm and lustrous, lightweight and breathable, making it perfect through the seasons.

We have chosen soft, heathered, earth tones combined with dark neutrals and few saturated rich ones. Most yaks are of darker shade, and light colors are very rare and even more precious. mYak do not bleach or decolour the fibre, therefore darker colours are dyed on the naturally darker yak fibres. Warmer than wool, and as soft as cashmere, 100% baby yak is the right choice if you are looking for a unique, ethically sourced fibre that is good for you, for the environment and for the community that produce it.

As a natural material, each color will vary from season to season depending on the shade of the natural fibers, making it at times darker and at times lighter. This is the beauty of working with natural fibers and therefore the shade of the sample you see photographed here, might not always correspond to the  exact shade we have in stock.
