Yes, Yak! It's not like I haven't knitted with my fair share of luxurious yarns. But the Yak from Lang Yarns is simply the perfect yarn for sweaters. This is because it's chain-spun, meaning it's spun like a chain. This gives the wool elasticity and stability, even in large knitting projects. Textured patterns like cables, ribbing, or other knit-purl combinations really shine with this yarn. The yarn has a wonderfully subtle fluffiness, the colors shift slightly, and they're simply classically beautiful! And this luxurious blend is also affordable, as you only need 8 balls for a women's sweater. Oh, and by the way: the merino wool is, of course, mulesing-free. That goes without saying at Lang Yarns.
Bought 2 colors-navy and grey-to knit Sophie hood. Great choice on my part. Used US 8 & 9 successfully to make squishy, beautiful, warm and soft hoods. The yarn was easy to work with, not splitty. Would buy again!
