mYak yarns have arrived and we’re smitten! We have three lovely bases now in stock: Baby Yak Lace, Baby Yak Medium and Baby Yak Chunky. All three yarns are 100% organic yak sourced right off the animal on the Tibetan Plateau, with the only middleman between the animal and Italian mills being the herder himself. For more information on the background of this great company, check out this post.
