TIBET
Merino Wool, Yak & Silk | Light Fingering Weight | Undyed Natural Colours
Tibet is a beautifully balanced yarn that combines softness, warmth and gentle luminosity.
Made from a thoughtful blend of merino wool, yak down, and mulberry silk, this yarn offers elasticity, breathability and a refined softness ideal for garments worn close to the skin. Merino wool provides resilience and elasticity, yak contributes natural warmth and depth, whilst silk adds subtle sheen and fluidity.
Spun as a balanced 3-ply yarn, Tibet offers strength and durability alongside softness and drape.
Undyed and presented in natural shades, this yarn reveals the inherent beauty of the fibres themselves. The natural grey tone arises from yak fibre, whilst the lighter shade reflects the natural merino and silk blend.
Spun in Mongolia using carefully sourced fibres, Tibet reflects a tradition of fine fibre craftsmanship.
