50g. 85% Merino, 15% Yak. DK.
King Cole Luxury Yak DK brings together 85% merino and 15% yak fibre for a DK that sits a clear step above standard wool blends. The yak content adds a subtle warmth and a slightly silky handle that makes it a pleasure to work with over longer sessions.
This yarn draws through the needle cleanly and knits up without splitting, even on textured or cabled stitch patterns. The merino component gives it excellent stitch definition, so it holds cables and lace well without blocking needing to do all the heavy lifting.
It suits crew-neck and raglan jumpers particularly well, where the soft handle benefits garments worn next to skin. Accessories such as hats, mittens, and lightweight scarves are a natural fit, and the tension works neatly for fitted cardigans and baby bonnets too.
The palette leans into the natural warmth of the fibre, offering muted, wearable tones alongside a handful of richer shades that show off the subtle lustre the yak brings.
