Experience the luxurious softness of mYak's Baby Camel, sustainably sourced from the arid land of northeastern Tibet. Perfect for those who appreciate premium quality and eco-friendly materials.
The camels are tended by members of the Tibetan community, offering a unique blend of Tibetan and Mongolian cultures. They even speak Amdo, one of the three main Tibetan dialects, and live in yurts, the traditional Mongolian home. The Bactrian Camel is a magnificent creature that can adapt well to even the harshest weather conditions. It is commonly used to transport personal items during transhumance and provides an abundance of high-quality milk and luxurious fiber. A unique and culturally rich product, any project will have a touch of both worlds with mYak's Baby Camel.
According to a given season's yak down color, mYak obtains three natural shades (chocolate, desert and oatmeal) which are then dyed, resulting in a palette of rich, soft colors evocative of the five elements of nature. Most yaks produce deep shades of fiber, therefore light colors are very rare and even more precious.
No bleaching or decoloring is done prior to dyeing, therefore each color will vary from season to season depending on the shade of the natural fibers. At times, the resulting shades will be darker and other times they will be lighter. There fore the shades represented online may not exactly match what we have in stock. We recommending purchasing enough to complete your project.
mYak takes great pride in sourcing the finest, softest fibers to bring you a truly unique knitting experience. Harvested by hand from the undercoat of baby yaks during the natural molting season, this yarn is both cruelty-free and environmentally responsible. The fiber is then spun in Italy using low-impact processes that honor the purity of the raw material.
The resulting fabric is unlike any other – an indulgent treat for the senses – boasting unparalleled softness, with a similar micron count to cashmere. The color palette for Baby Yak Medium is a stunning combination of soft, heathered earth tones and dark neutrals, accented by vibrant hues. Because most yaks are naturally of a darker shade, lighter colors are incredibly rare and highly coveted, making this product truly one-of-a-kind.
mYak yarns build a bridge between ancient traditions and conscious craftsmanship. Knit with purpose, knowing your creations carry the warmth of the Tibetan people and the spirit of sustainability.

FAQs
What's a Knitalong (or Crochetalong, or Makealong)?
A knitalong (KAL), Crochetalong (CAL) or Makealong (MAL) is a social event designed to bring the maker community together around a specific pattern or yarn – or sometimes both. Enjoy connecting with others while knitting or crocheting the same garment or working with a particular yarn together. This is a fantastic time to gather together with others in our fiber arts community, enjoy camaraderie, and get a little guidance and project support along the way.
What ISN'T a Knitalong/Crochetalong/Makealong?
A KAL/CAL/MAL is not a class. You should be reasonably familiar with the techniques required to work through the project at hand. However, help is never far away! If you ever find yourself in need of extended project support, drop in to our Help Session, offered weekly on Saturdays from 1-3pm.
We’ll start with a breakdown of brioche basics, including how the stitch pattern works, tips for managing tension, and how to handle yarn placement in two colors. You’ll cast on for your hat in class and begin working through the pattern with guidance and support.
As the class continues, we’ll dive deeper into the nuances of brioche, including increasing and decreasing within the stitch pattern, troubleshooting common issues, and reading your stitches to keep track of where you are. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence and a deeper understanding of how brioche fabric is built. By the end of the class, you'll not only have a great start on your Harlow hat, but also the foundational skills to tackle future brioche projects with ease and enthusiasm.

Interchangeable knitting needle sets are quickly becoming a part of every serious knitter's quiver and the Twig & Horn Interchangeable Needle Case is the perfect companion for your prized set. With a tri-fold design and slotted spaces accommodating 13 different needle tip sizes, this case is an essential! Any brand of needle tip can fit into the compact spaces and there are three zippered pockets to keep your cords and notions close at hand whenever you need them. A leather strap and metal snap secures this sturdy case that will keep all the pieces of your interchangeable needle set safe.
Straps are made from a deep chocolate American leather strap. The leather wears well over time, and small scratches in the leather as it ages can be buffed away with leather conditioner, if desired, although we think it ages beautifully just as it is.
*Interchangeable needles, cords and notions are not included with the Interchangeable Needle Case.
Lang Yarns' Cashmere Light Colors yarn is made from the same base as Cashmere Light. These Light colorways let the artist explore an enjoyable wisp of variegation. Tuning into the natural softness of cashmere, this yarn is not spun. Rather, the cashmere roving is knit loosely with a nylon core and constructed into a chainnette yarn.
Need some inspiration? Churchmouse Yarn's Cozy Handwarmers is a pattern written for using Lang Yarn's Cashmere!
Since 2018, Lang Yarns decided to only source their sheep fibers from mulesing-free productions. This controversial procedure is a solution to avoiding infestation from fly maggots (myiasis). Lang Yarns has a helpful resource on their website where a customer can trace their yarn and learn more about the origins of their specific fiber. The "Trace your Yarn" page allows for a deeper understanding of farms, fiber animals, and their shearing processes, all the way to the finished product!
Cloud is a constructed from merino wool that is blown into a nylon tube. As such, it is technically an unspun yarn but with the added benefit of warmth and durability from the nylon casing which keeps the wool fibers in place and also traps body heat within the fibers.
It's also as light as air! Use caution: working with this lofty mix might just lead the maker to imagine themselves sitting on a cloud and watching a rainbow appear! One hundred grams of bulky billowing happiness, Lang Yarns has taken two perfectly paired elements of the sky and combined them into a fiber lover's dream!
