The addition of yak to this base yarn brings a beautiful touch of its original characteristics: its supple drape, its strong natural warmth, and its subtle taupe-grey color. The luxurious luster of the silk adds a light, shimmering touch. The yarn is tightly twisted, giving the stitches a beautiful definition. Please note that the natural color of yak hair gives a very different appearance to the colors; it considerably darkens them and gives them a smoky tone, and it dulls the contrasts.
