Merino Yak
Certifications and claims as stated by each brand.
A Merino wool yarn blended with Yak and with a slight percentage of Alpaca. Merino Yak is a precious, soft yarn that wins you over from the first contact on the skin. Its warm colors, available in different shades, make it ideal for multicolored work. Its natural composition is a perfect blend, a harmonious balance that is hard to live without.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1484 yarns · 57 brands · 142 without gauge · 344/1490 gauge rows missing row count.
