Soft and warm, this luxurious combination of merino, yak and alpaca fibre is a sure hit for toasty accessories and garments for late autumn and winter wear.Β Β
Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin.
yak
Yak fiber is a natural wool that comes from the coat of yaks, a long-haired bovine animal. It's used to make clothing, blankets, and other items. Durable, warm, and soft, it is a lovely luxury fibre.
