Shown in mYak Medium

We knit our Cap in wonderful, worsted-weight mYak Medium. Three gently-twisted plies create a bouncy yarn that’s a dream to work with. Warmer than sheep’s wool and as soft cashmere, this exquisite 100% baby yak is hard-wearing, lush, and ethically sourced! No wind will whip through its warmth.
