Yak Sport

The yak bases are some of our best-selling bases and it's not surprising!

They are very good for allergy sufferers or sensitive people, as they do not contain lanolin, which is often one of the things our bodies react to. Our Yak/silk bases are great for summer tops or shawls and they have a fantastic drape/weight. However, this also means we recommend knitting these yarns about 3 - 5 cm shorter than you want them, as they often relax slightly in length.

If you're unsure whether you can tolerate it, make a swatch and wear it against your skin to see how you react. Under the different bases you can read which category they fall into on our AKW scale.

Luxury shop and great service… Returning buyer because A knitters World has such beautiful hand-dyed luxury yarns. Delightful to knit with and, not least, to use. Great service from Bettina and can only recommend her webshop🧶

Fantastic yarn quality and the most beautiful colors. The owner is the sweetest and most welcoming person, ready to help with any challenge. The yarn is available at all price points, and it's great that undyed yarn is also sold in the same lovely qualities at reasonable prices. A shop you'll definitely return to.

Fantastic service, beautiful yarn, and for the first time in my life I've found wool yarn in the form of cashmere that I can actually tolerate, even though I've had eczema since childhood. Luxurious, lovely, simply great.
