Lang Yarns Yak

Lang Yarns Yak is an exclusive natural yarn spun from 70% extrafine merino wool and 30% yak wool. The yarn combines the finest attributes of merino and yak, resulting in unparalleled softness, warmth and comfort. The yak fibres come from animals living high in the Himalayas, where their natural fleece protects them against extreme temperatures. This property is directly transferred into the yarn, making it particularly suitable for winter garments.

Usage
Lang Yarns Yak is ideal for exclusive knitting projects such as sweaters, cardigans, hats, gloves, scarves and shawls. It is especially suited for items where one desires a lightweight, warm and skin‑friendly result. The natural structure and tone of the yarn give an elegant and rustic finish, which works well in both plain knitting and more textured patterns.

Product benefits

• Exceptional softness: The combination of extrafine merino wool and yak delivers an incredibly pleasant yarn quality that can be worn close to the skin without irritation
• Superior warmth: Yak wool is a natural insulator and retains body heat effectively – perfect for cold winter days
• Lightweight yet durable: Despite its soft and lightweight composition, the yarn remains robust and dimensionally stable, ensuring long‑lasting use

Tips for use
To highlight the yarn’s attributes, simple cuts and textures are recommended, allowing the fibres to shine. Try it for plain knit models, cable patterns or brioche, where volume and texture may really stand out. Use needles in the recommended size range for the most even and airy result.

Why choose this yarn?
Lang Yarns Yak is the perfect choice for those who desire a natural luxury yarn with high functionality. It combines the best of two fibres: the softness and elasticity of merino wool and the warmth and exclusivity of yak wool.
