A truly exceptional blend: soft, weightless and naturally warm.
This luxurious fibre blend brings together Baby Alpaca, Silk, fine Merino (18.5 microns) and Yak to create an unbelievably soft, airy and elegant yarn.
The natural yak content gives the yarn its warm, velvety beige tone, adding depth and refinement to any project.
You can dye it or use it as is—either way, the result is beautifully drapey, delicate and richly textured. Perfect for both knitting and weaving.
