Yak Wool Yarn - Midnight Navy Blue - Fingering

I couldn't decide which yarn to try, so I ordered one each! I'm crocheting a long-sleeve top using them all. Cashmere, Camel, Yak, in DK, and Wool in fingering. For the fingering weight I will add a strand of suri lace! Beautiful yarn!

Just finished my second sweater with this yarn and am very happy. The color is deep, the fabric is soft and sturdy, and the whole knitting process was pure joy! My first sweater of this yarn shows some pilling, but it's not too bad. Will definitely get more in the future for more lovely projects!

I have been buying yarn from ULA+LIA for several years. I prefer the yak yarn. It's warm, soft and not itchy, and a pleasure to knit with.

This is a great websitr to purchase yarn, they are very reputable. Their prices are fair and the quality of the yarn is excellent.

This 100% Yak DK in Evergreen is exactly what I wanted. If this green were a fragrance, it would be frosty pine trees right after a rain. Just the right shade of green - not too black, not too yellow, not too blue. The yak wool feels amazing and I bet the bloom on it is going to be crazy beautiful. Also, just the most subtle sheen - sigh. So glad I got to join in on the adventure and will order more yarn the next time around.

I just finished my sweater with your baby yak yarn that I picked up at my local yarn store and am so impressed. I just dont want to take it off! I love the rugged look yet soft feel of the yarn. I will order more.

I love this yarn, in this weight. I’m knitting a lace cardigan, and it has a light halo while still maintaining beautiful stitch definition. Incredibly soft and durable! It feels more like a heavy DK/light worsted yarn, and character changes with needle size—I’m using a US size 6, getting 20 stitches per 4 inches and am happy with the character of the fabric. I am sure I could easily go up a few needles sizes and have a gorgeous, shimmery, fluid shawl if I wanted. Wonderful!

Wonderful yarn, with amazing drape. I wash and dry mine before crochet with it. It has such an earthy smell as a work with it too. It's a 10/10 in my opinion!

The color is gorgeous, and the yak fiber is an absolute dream. It’s lovely to knit with, but the real magic happens after you’ve finished knitting and blocked your project. The yarn literally blooms when washed, becoming incredibly soft—like cashmere. Truly remarkable!

I’m a beginner knitter, and I decided I wanted to treat myself to some really nice yarn for once. I’m so glad I did! The quality is beautiful, it feels amazing to work with, and I absolutely love it. I can’t wait to try their cashmere next!

Great pic if you’re getting into using more “exotic” fibers, works and feels like wool but has different characteristics. Very nice and plush, will be buying more.

So soft and nice to knit with after washing that I have rather ordered more than use other DK yarn from my stash …

I bought a skein to see if it would be suitable for a larger project. While I adore cashmere, I don’t like the way it frequently pills and was hoping to find something almost as soft that would wear better (bonus if it’s more affordable!). I pre-washed the skein according to the instructions to get rid of the spinning oils, and the yarn plumped up nicely. So far I’ve only swatched with it, but the fabric has a lovely hand and does really feel like it would wear well. The natural warm gray color is beautiful and would go with pretty much everything. I think I’ve found my cashmere replacement!

I do love the feel of yak fiber! This has such a nice twist, it will be wonderful to work with! the mulberry purple is so deep and rich - it's destined to be a tee of some form. I haven't knit it yet, but it will be hitting the needles soon!

I made 2 swatches.one with US 4 wood needles and the other with US 2.5 metal needles. The yarn was easy on my hands to knit because it was not slippery on the needles. It is a relaxing yarn to knit with. The swatch using the larger needle filled in the space between stitches when washed, and the swatch on the smaller needles still had a nice feel and drape.
The platinum gray color is amazing and I have a pattern picked out for this yarn. I don't mind washing the spinning oil out, because the price is very reasonable for a luxury yarn. The yarn shipped when promised and there were no issues with the delivery or packaging.
I hope there will continue to be yak yarn available and would like to expand my color choices next time.

This yarn is soft and squishy. The color is the most incredible purple I've ever soon.

I hate to say how exquisite this yarn is because I want to keep this yarn a secret so there is more for me ;-))

It's so so soft! I have two projects planned with the yarn - one solid gray shawl and one striped shawl with the platinum gray and the purple. Mmmmm! The yarn was an early birthday present and thank you from another fiber artist who visited for 4.5 days. Aren't I lucky?

I am surprised at the softness and even consistency of the yarn. I am making a small swatch of straight stitching flat. The stitches are even without distortion, and the yarn is soft but not slippery. I think this yarn would make a beautiful lace item or could be carried with another yarn or held double. This yarn has a lot of possibilities, I wish I had bought a few more skeins of it.

I love supporting Ula+Lia and the marvelous yarn, animals, herders, dyers, spinners and all who make this wonderful yarn. It is easy to knit, has a marvelous hand, works well with cables or lace. My favorite fabric from this is stockinette stitch—so smooth and touchable!! It’s probably the only way I’ll ever be able to touch a real yak!! Thank you Jon, et al!!😊

Great quality yarn and shipped quickly!

I haven't had the chance to use this yet, but the color is just as I imagined it! I can't wait to use it! (will upgrade to 5 star if it works out as I expect it will)

I knit myself a sweater several years ago with the chocolate brown yak yarn and I love that sweater. It is soft, warn and has very little pilling. Now I have several colors of the yak yarn and plan to knit myself a stranded yoke sweater.

I picked up several skeins of the yak on Kickstarter, and am just now getting around to knit it into a sweater. Sadly, the pattern I chose had a very loose neck, which doesn’t work for me. And it had cables, which didn’t work with the darkness of the yarn, and I kept changing my mind about features I wanted in the sweater. So I ended up ripping parts of the yoke 7 times. I’ve had wool yarn break down after ripping just a few times. But the yak still looks brand new, and it’s holding its shape beautifully, and it’s so soft and cozy! A total win!
