Introducing Luxury Yak DK
Where Ancient Craft Meets Modern Luxury
Yak fibres have been a treasured resource in Central Asia for centuries, first introduced to Europe via the Silk Road. When blended with Merino wool, yak fibres create a “super fibre”—a blend renowned for its softness, warmth, breathability, and durability.
Luxury Yak DK embodies this rich heritage while embracing modern craftsmanship. Working closely with Himalayan herders and master artisans, King Cole has created a luxurious blend of 85% Merino Wool and 15% Yak Wool, offering an unparalleled experience in every stitch.
