Yakish
Made from a combination of baby alpaca, yak, and superwash Merino wool, Yakish is a 2-ply sport weight yarn with a luxurious texture and beautiful drape. This fiber fusion is an innovative combination that offers a wealth of unique properties, resulting in a yarn that is exceptionally soft, warm, and versatile—perfect for a wide range of knitting and crochet projects. Knit and crocheted fabrics have a subtle halo and gentle sheen, giving them an elegant and sophisticated appearance. The nature of the fiber blend also adds a natural melange to the colors.
Despite its natural warmth and insulation, Yakish is surprisingly versatile and suitable for all seasons. Baby Alpaca’s natural breathability helps your finished project feel very light & airy. Perfect for projects like lightweight tops, shawls, and accessories you’ll stay comfortable without the added bulk, thanks to the Baby Alpaca.
The addition of Yak fiber provides exceptional warmth and insulation, making it ideal for cold-weather knits, like sweaters and hats. Yak fiber is renowned for its thermal-regulating properties, effectively trapping body heat to keep you warm in chilly temperatures without feeling bulky or heavy. Yakish offers the perfect balance of warmth, breathability, and comfort.
