Description

4ply That Yak – Mystic Orchid: a soft but durable yarn, hand dyed in an enigmatic fusion of rich plum purple and deep navy blue. This delightful yarn is ideal for next-to-skin knitting and crochet projects such as socks, shawls, hats, garments, etc.

One 100gram skein of this 4ply yak blend yarn goes a long way – I knitted a pair of adult size Tidal Socks plus stretchy fingerless mitts using just one skein of 4ply That Yak yarn.

Merino is the softest wool yarn available, and is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. Merino sheep need to be shorn at least once a year because their wool does not stop growing.
Yak is comparable to cashmere in it’s softness and is warmer than merino wool.
The nylon element adds durability to the yarn, making it ideal for socks.
