A beautifully luxurious blend with an extraordinary story

King Cole Luxury Yak DK is a truly special yarn that combines the exceptional softness of fine merino wool with the remarkable warmth and elegance of natural yak fibre. The result is a wonderfully lightweight yarn with a beautifully soft handle, gentle drape and cosy warmth that you’ll reach for all year round.

Yak fibre has been treasured across Central Asia for centuries, first making its way to Europe along the ancient Silk Road. Today, that remarkable heritage lives on in this luxurious blend, created in partnership with Himalayan herders and skilled artisans who have worked with these incredible fibres for generations.

Blending 85% Merino Wool with 15% Yak Wool creates what many consider to be a true “super fibre”. Merino brings softness, elasticity and beautiful stitch definition, while yak adds exceptional warmth, breathability and a subtle halo that gives finished garments an effortlessly luxurious feel.

The yarn glides beautifully across your needles, producing crisp stitches with a gentle softness that only improves with wear. Whether you’re knitting simple stocking stitch, intricate cables or elegant lace, Luxury Yak DK creates garments with beautiful drape and timeless style.

Available in a gorgeous palette of twelve sophisticated shades inspired by the natural colours of yak fibre and contemporary design, this is a yarn you’ll return to again and again for projects that deserve something just a little bit special.

It’s incredibly soft with that lovely springy bounce from the merino, while the yak adds a beautiful warmth and quiet luxury that makes every project feel extra special. I also love the heritage behind it – from the Himalayan highlands to your knitting needles, it’s a yarn with a wonderful story to tell.
