YARN

The Patina Scarf Kit by Urth Yarns is a beautiful invitation to explore color, texture, and slow, satisfying stitching. Designed for beginners, this is a great project that showcases the rich, tonal shifts Urth Yarns are known for. This kit pairs one skein of 16 Fingering and one skein Bonmoher. Knitting a strand of fine merino held together with variegated mohair creates a soft watercolor effect that plays against the crisp geometry of the rib patterns.

Perfect for knitters who enjoy engaging yet approachable projects, the Patina Scarf combines simple techniques with eye catching results. The fabric has a lovely drape and depth, making it an ideal accessory for layering through changing seasons.

North Bay Fiber BayHouse DK is made in America from American-grown wool, sourced from Great Lakes Lamb.

With a springy nature and a smooth texture, this yarn is perfect for knitted items worked in stockinette, cables, and lacework. Made from 100% U.S. Cormo wool, the resulting fabric is ideal for everyday garments and accessories. Initially bred from Australian Merino, Lincoln, and Superfine Saxon Merino sheep, the Cormo sheep produces a soft white yarn. North Bay Fiber's hand dyeing techniques result in vivid, bright, colorful solids. 

NOTE: Please consider that due to this yarn’s springy texture, when you substitute Elemental for another yarn in a pattern, you may wish to purchase approximately 20% more yarn than needed to ensure you will have a sufficient amount. This yarn has bounce!

They will give you the gentle hand and loft of merino with the strength and resilience needed for everyday wear and friction heavy areas like heels and toes in socks.

The 4-ply fingering weight and generous hand dyed color palette make these mini skeins ideal for contrast stripes, colorwork, intarsia accents, cuffs, and other creative touches without committing to full size skeins. Machine washable on a gentle cycle and dry flat care instructions mean finished pieces are both beautiful and practical for regular use.

Hand-dyed in Malabrigo’s signature vibrant palette, Verano comes in a gorgeous range of tonal, variegated, and bold multi-colorways that bring cotton to life. This worsted-weight yarn knits up beautifully for breathable tops, shawls, lightweight sweaters, and accessories that can be worn year-round. 

Like all hand-dyed yarns, we recommend alternating skeins for larger projects. Machine washable on gentle cycle, though handwashing is always best to preserve color and texture.

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.

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.

mYak's Fior di Lino is a captivating yarn that seamlessly combines the spirit of Italian Linen, the delicate softness of Tibetan Baby Yak, and the luxurious depth of Tibetan Cloud wool. Prepare to dive into the lush beauty of Italy's countryside, the serene expanses of the Tibetan Plateau, and the timeless elegance of the natural world.

Colorways titled: Glacier, Fox, Tuscan Fields, Mountain Mist, and Watermelon Sorbet are part of mYak's special collaboration with designer Isabell Kraemer. 

Kraemer says, "When Paola first told me about this latest yarn, I was really excited. A blend of Tibetan Cloud, Baby Yak and a bit of linen on top sounded perfect. And my expectations were more than fulfilled! Fior di Lino is a joy to knit with and produces a wonderfully soft yet beautifully supple fabric. The stitch definition and the drape are absolutely amazing. Perfect for sweaters and accessories. Knowing how important fair and safe working conditions are to mYak, along with their great love and respect for the environment, makes Fior di Lino a yarn I can recommend with all my knitter’s heart…. and I feel really honoured that mYak invited me to contribute to the colour palette of this beautiful yarn!”

Alongside their dedication to helping sustain the traditional way of life of the Tibetan nomads, co-founders Paola and Andrea, also craft all of their yarn bases in mills that emphasize fair labor practices, safe working environments, and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
