Creating wearable Colours in a close relationship with nature - this Palette has been inspired by Irish Moors, Mountain flowers and Mossy Woodland Rivers.
Dyed with Herbal & Vegetable Dyes as well as Lac and Indigo.
Light and silky to the touch, Yeti is made from equal amounts of Yak and Mulberry Silk fibres – spun into a fine fingering weight yarn to create garments which are as light as a feather.
This yarn makes a wonderful all year garment – both, yak and silk, are temperature regulators.
Yak is one of the most expensive fibre in the world – with being warmer than sheep wool and still as soft as cashmere, it will keep you warm and cosy when needed.
It is hard wearing, durable, soft, warm and light weight.
Yeti is available as a kit as well. Check out Criostal, designed by Albina from Lbhandknits, highlights Yeti in a simple delicate shawl pattern.
