Yak fiber

Yak is a relatively recent addition to the fibers easily available to everyone on this side of the world.

The undercoat of the yak, known as yak down, is making inroads in local fiber arts stores throughout North America. Yak has a micron measurement similar to cashmere, which means that yarn made from this luxury fiber is one of the softest and most snuggly fibers you can find.

This fibre has wonderful properties, especially natural thermal regulation; it helps the user be comfortable all year around.
