RiGo · Baby Yak 2/15 · 750m/820yds per 100g/3.5oz · 40% Yak (WY) 10% Cashmere (WS) 20% Silk (Se) 30% Merino (WV)

Baby Yak 2/15 by RiGo is a four-fiber blend of rare distinction — yak, cashmere, silk, and merino in a composition that brings together some of the most extraordinary natural fibers available in a single thread. Each fiber contributes something essential, and together they produce a yarn of unusual depth, softness, and character.

40% yak fiber is the heart of this blend — a rare, exceptionally soft fiber with a warmth-to-weight ratio that rivals cashmere and a distinctive, slightly matte depth that is entirely its own. Baby yak in particular is among the finest animal fibers available: collected from the soft undercoat of young Himalayan yaks, it is extraordinarily gentle against the skin and carries a natural warmth suited to the harshest climates. 10% cashmere deepens the softness further, adding its legendary enveloping quality to the yak's natural warmth. 20% silk introduces a living luster and fluid drape that lifts the blend into something luminous. 30% merino provides structure, elasticity, and the even consistency that makes the yarn a pleasure to work with at every strand count.

Baby Yak 2/15 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding the rare warmth of yak, cashmere's softness, silk's luminosity, and merino's natural elasticity to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 750m/100g, Baby Yak 2/15 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. This exceptional four-fiber blend maintains its softness, warmth, and luster at every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where rare fiber luxury defines the finished piece.
