20% Baby Yak Wool
80% Sheep Wool
Back by popular demand and in larger numbers, our Mongolian sheep wool socks are now even better! After ending up with some extra yak wool this year, we decided to add 20% of our baby yak down wool to our sheep wool base. So what do we get? The same qualities we loved about our previous versions amplified! These thick knit socks are perfect for outdoor activities or for those looking to add some warmth to your feet on cold days. The excellent wicking properties of Mongolian yak and wool keep your feet dry and warm, guaranteed!
Please note that socks are wear items and they won't last forever and is heavily dependant on use. Used as actual socks inside boots or shoes, they are very durable and will last quite a while. However, if used directly on flooring or carpet as slippers, they will wear out rather quickly and cause holes. For at home use, I still highly reccomend using with slippers to extend product life.
Hand wash or wash on gentle wool cycle with cold water and wool friendly soap. Lay flat to dry.

So nice I’m buying more for family.
Thank you for the continued support!
Purchased for my hiking, fishing obsessed husband (and a sneaky pair for myself too). We cannot recommend these socks highly enough! I handknit socks and these socks surpass all the wonderful properties of handknit. They remain warm and comfortable all day, even in well-worn hiking boots, and they wash and wear very, very well. We will be purchasing more for sure!
Thank you for sharing your experience! The socks are always one of my favorite parts of winter!
These socks are great. Keep me warm, but also light and cooling when it warms up.
They are soft and so comfortable. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they've been really awesome so far.
I wear them with house slippers inside to help keep them from wearing out. I'm hoping they last for a deec amount of time.
I run in mine during the cold season and they are fine for me even with heavy use and washing. Direct wear on carpet/flooring is a bit rough, but they hold up pretty well if there's not a ton of loose friction!
The socks seem smartly designed-- they have a very cushy sole, cozy ankle, and are light on the top of the foot. They're never too hot or too cold. They have some very light pilling after one use, so we'll see how long they last. But I'm wearing them indoors on bare floors, which is not recommended in the product description, so I accept if they have a shorter life.
Yes I hope they keep you comfortable and warm! Durability can vary depending on use, but always warm and squishy!
These socks are fantastic, granted they are natural fiber so they will shrink slightly with washing but they stretch right back out without losing elasticity. They are very warm even though they are thin which make them nice for certain shoes. Well worth the money.
Thanks Jake! I'll get at you when I'm home in a month or so to get some goods from your farm again

I recently ordered both yak wool and the wool/cashmere socks. I live in a very cold and snowy climate, and this yarn is the best I’ve tried. I am currently wearing a sweater I made out of ULA LIA camel yarn and it’s one of my favorite 2 sweaters. The other is a wool/yak blend sweater also from ULA LIA. I have another on the needles. And some mittens. I guess if you have to have an addiction, you could do worse than ULA LIA.
Thank you for all the support Kate! And for sharing your experiences with the different fibers. Sounds like you're set to take on a cold winter!
I've both at least a hundred different types of socks in my life and these are hands down the comfiest. And they're super warm. However, they don't last very long as holes in the heels develop after maybe 10 or 15 times wearing them. I keep on ordering new ones because they are so comfy. Maybe I will just wear them inside and not try to walk around as much with them. And maybe wear a larger size.
Thank you, I'd say that's a fair review for our socks! I agree there's a bit of a tradeoff as far as warmth+comfort -vs- durability goes. Going up a size could help if you have the extra size to go (I'm a 47 personally but the biggest we make is 45, so not possible for me), but having a bit more material and it not being stretched as much could give you some more life. I still get good wear from them in boots or shoes (and even use them for running on super cold days), but not great indoors or especially directly on carpet. Socks are a bit outside of what we usually focus on, but they turned into a bit of a cult product for us. People either love or hate them, but those that love them can't go without them!
I never thought I would say this. I love these. So cozy. So warm. So soft. I feel like I am giving myself a present every time I put them on.
Thank you, I agree with the socks, they are awesome! They always stay on my feet in the winter. We're about to do another production batch this year and will hopefully add some extra designs and maybe fiber options.
These are the softest wool socks I've ever had. I bought a pair several years ago. They're still going strong. This year I bought a pair for myself and everyone in my family.
Thank you Merrie, hope everybody has warm dry and comfy feet!
These socks are so incredibly soft and warm. I also love how my feet do not overheat in these socks and thus don't get sweaty. I will definitely be buying more for the family and also plan to get some as stocking stuffers when Christmas rolls around.
Nothing quite like a pure wool sock. Happy you like them! We're going to do another batch for this winter!
Wife loves the mittens and socks. recommended
Happy to hear they were a hit, thank you!
DH is very picky and I wasn't sure about these but after 1 wearing - he asked if I could get some more!
Thank you, I'm glad they passed the test! They'll definitely be in stock for a while more and then we're going to make another batch next season, so grab all you'd like!
Seriously, these are the softest, warmest, most comfortable, breathable, squishiest, BEST SOCKS I've ever put on my feet! I haven't started knitting yet with my yak yarn, but when I do, I will be wearing these yak/sheep wool socks. I'm actually having some trouble with the idea of taking them off. It's excellent that I bought five pairs. LOVE THEM.
So happy you love them! I think the socks are a bit of a cult classic. They aren't the most popular in general, but those that get them end up loving them! I hope they get a lot of use in the cold days
Those I gifted the socks love them and one has purchased more from you online. Overall the fiber is nice — the baby yak is very short, the camel is easy to spin, and the cashmere, though not as soft as our local cashmere, is still really nice. I blended the three together for a beautiful yarn. I’m happy to help maintain traditional sustainable herding practices.
Thank you for the support Rebecca!
I bought some wool/yak socks in last year's kickstart and I loved them so much that I bought 4 more pair in 2024! I have very cold-senitive feet and these socks are among the best that I've worn for keeping my feet warm (similar to American Bison socks, which I also wear). I'll continue to replenish my supply for as long as they are offered! (Note--the outdoor temps are currently -18F and my feet were just fine when I went out to go to the mailbox, almost a quarter mile up the road.)
I'm sure they will keep your feet warm for a few seasons, thank you!
He said they are super comfy and warm but don’t make his feet hot. Great for lounging around the house : ) thanks!
Warm feet are happy feet, thank you!
My son and grandson were very excited about their christmas present from Mongolia.
Great presents, thank you Jane!
I just ordered 3 more pairs of these, and I have a hat and a shawl, too! Please bring back more ready to wear stuff for those of us who don't knit or crochet! 😭
Yes I'm sorry I don't have more items! I'm even trying to set up a small yarn production shop in UB and expand into some other items that way, but it's a bit difficult finding a location. It's a goal of mine (and my partner cooperatives) so hoping for it to happen soon!
second purchase of socks and have recommended them to others. Will continue to purchase.
Thank you! We've still got plenty in stock to make it through this next winter, so we'll have more!
Love these warm, tightly knit socks so much that I order a new pair every year👍😍. I now have 3 pair to take me through the cold Wes 🤗
I've even started using these on my runs on the cold days. My feet are never happier! Thank you for the review Margo!
The wool socks from ULA+LIA are of very high quality with a luxurious feel. I order some every year and absolutely love them. So while I want to keep them to myself it’s only fair that everyone knows what an incredible gift they make even if it’s for yourself. Try them, you will love them!!
Thank you Lori! I've had some requests for our socks with a higher calf for more of a hiking application. Maybe we'll have to expand the offerings in the future!
This is a repeat purchase as my husband just loves them. He now has 5 pair and when the next kickstarter begins I will purchase more.
The socks are great, I can't wait for the new batch to get here this week!
These socks are soft, warm, fit well, and comfortable on hikes; they are not my last pairs!
My feet live in these socks in the winter too, happy they keep your toes nice and warm!
The socks are soft and warm! I was not expecting them to be so comfy! Good quality as well, will definitely buy more in the future.
Thank you Hannah! We're definitely going to be making more in a few months
