Sounds strange, but feels incredible! The downy fiber harvested from Mongolian yaks provides a unique mix of softness and durability. Yaks have different layers in their wool coats, much like goats. ULA + LIA only uses the finest, softest down layer that 1-3 year old yaks produce in the middle of bitter winters. The guard hairs that remain after the brushing process are separated from the downy ‘yak cashmere’ before being spun into yarn.

Due to their unique habitat of high elevations and bitterly cold temperatures, yak wool is very fine and soft, but also comprised of abnormally long and durable fibers. Like merino wool, yak wool is also finding its way into base layers due to its strength, warmth, and natural wicking properties.

fantastic!

fantastic yarn, fantastic service. a truly addictive experience

Lovely color and very soft

I got the gold color in this Baby Camel yarn and it’s beautiful. I would call it Marigold or Turmeric as it is between yellow and orange. I started knitting a swatch and it’ll work perfectly with the two cashmere yarns. It’s super soft, I really enjoy this yarn! Be sure to wash it several times before using as it lost quite a lot of surplus dye which could bleed into your other colors if knitting a pattern.

Cashmere yarn, undyed cloud gray

After washing the yarn several times to get the spinning oils out, I’m now knitting a swatch for a sweater. The yarn is lovely, wonderful to knit and so soft! Can’t wait until my sweater is finished until then it’ll be a treat knitting it!

First timer with cashmere

I knit a chemo hat for my sister in law. I was uncertain about washing the finished hat in hot water but I followed the directions. It came out so soft and I’m sure it will be comfortable and comforting when she needs to wear it. I immediately went on line and bought more skeins of the yarn!

Love this yarn

Love this yarn and that it comes with so much yardage. Lots of other brands don’t. Thank you

This yarn is amazing. I have bought the yarn in the in the past and I will continue to buy it in the future.

This yarn is so beautiful!

Love this yarn!

I absolutely love the color of this yarn! I’ve used this yarn previously, and the baby camel is a dream to knit - easy to work with and it knits up beautifully. Looking forward to getting this on the needles.

It's definitely a lovely fiber with great value, thank you for coming back!

Gorgeous color

Can't wait to knit another cashmere sweater with my Ula+Lia yarn. Simply gorgeous 😍

Enjoy knitting it up, thank you Colleen!

love this beanie

I wear mine all the time, I hope you get a lot of use from it!

Baby Yak Wool, Mulberry, fingering weight

What an amazing color! I’ve no experience with mulberries so wasn't sure what to expect, even with the pix available. It’s a deeper purple than concord grape jelly…made by a quality jelly company.
There remains a bit of spinning oil scenting the yarn. I don’t find this offensive but those who are sensitive to smells will likely want to wash the skeins before storage and/or use. I’ve never let the skeins air outside but that could help for those folks.
The yarn is tensioned well; no kinking or separation of plies in the yarn. Also, it is SO SOFT.

It’s a challenge to decide if I like the color, the softness, or the texture better …. The winner is the color. The depth is stunning. Knitted things from these skeins will go to the worthiest of my knit worthy people.

Thank you Dana! The washing is definitely a must, and I agree about the color as well. We've got a red, green, and purple yak... maybe a blue next year could work on the yak wool base!

Baby Camel Wool Spinning Fiber 100g

Baby Camel Wool Yarn - Undyed Natural Sand Tan - DK

So excited to knit with this

The color of this yarn is really beautiful and the hank feels super soft and robust to the touch. I can't wait to knit up a cute scarf with this!

It's a great color and will be even softer after a hot soapy wash. Enjoy your scarf!

Tested in 2F/-17C cold

Wore these outside in bitter cold and they kept my hands warm, even through a breeze. Soft and fluffy, long enough to protect my wrists, I'm really happy with these.

Definitely unique and warm, I hope you get a lot of wear from them!

Fiber and socks

Those I gifted the socks love them and one has purchased more from you online. Overall the fiber is nice — the baby yak is very short, the camel is easy to spin, and the cashmere, though not as soft as our local cashmere, is still really nice. I blended the three together for a beautiful yarn. I’m happy to help maintain traditional sustainable herding practices.

Thank you for the support Rebecca!

Lovely Yarn

While I haven’t started a project with this yarn yet, it already has an amazing hand-feel. Very soft and smooth. The colors are also really saturated and lovely. Perhaps slightly darker than the image on my phone browser, but that’s not a problem for me. I feel like I got a massive bargain, too, as this yarn was on sale. Couldn’t be happier. Looking forward to knitting up a sweater with this.

I hope you find the right pattern for it, thank you!

BEAUTIFUL COLOR

It was just what I expected. The colorway reminded me of fresh mowed lawn in spring. The fiber was soft, squishy, and gorgeous. I know it will be a wonderful experience to knit from start to finish.

Happy to hear you like it! I was a bit nervous when I first saw it coming out this year but it turned into one of my favorite colors this season. Thank you!

Gorgeous color and quality

I cannot wait to make something beautiful with it!

Thank you Robin, enjoy the project!

Beautiful Yarn

This is lovely yarn. I am currently working on a sweater out of different ULA+LIA Cashmere and I love this yarn.

Goodluck with the colorwork, I hope it comes out as planned!

Wool/Yak socks--ultimate in softness and warmth!

I bought some wool/yak socks in last year's kickstart and I loved them so much that I bought 4 more pair in 2024! I have very cold-senitive feet and these socks are among the best that I've worn for keeping my feet warm (similar to American Bison socks, which I also wear). I'll continue to replenish my supply for as long as they are offered! (Note--the outdoor temps are currently -18F and my feet were just fine when I went out to go to the mailbox, almost a quarter mile up the road.)

I'm sure they will keep your feet warm for a few seasons, thank you!

Beautiful yarn shipped FAST!

The yarn is soft and has a lovely twist. I washed it in the skein as suggested and the bloom was just delightful.
The natural cream color has depth and will look amazing with the natural chocolate baby yak.
I was very pleased with how quickly my order shipped. It was as close to instant gratification as I could want. I am happy to support a small business with a wonderful mission and the great service is just icing on the cake.

Happy to hear it got to you quickly! We always try to get things in the mail the next day. Enjoy your mix of fibers!

100% sheep wool, Light Melange

Some fibers are both straight and kinked. The kinked strands are soft and not pokey guard hair type. Staple on the straight fiber is about an inch.Those kinky are about 2.5 inches.
Little lanolin left, enough to some teased locks loosely together.

Thank you for the review Dana, I hope it spins up well for you!

It arrived!

Soft and lovely. Color is as pictured. Can't wait to start using it!

Thank you Jean!

Not as expected

Just arrived today. Baby yak not as soft as I thought it would be. Disappointed in the cashmere. Before even rewinding the skein I can see that there is a knot, it's not a continuous length. Perhaps that was noted in the original description, but I am always disappointed when this happens. Overall, somewhat underwhelmed, I guess. I was expecting a nicer "feel" to the yarn, so will have to rethink what I will do with the yarn, since it is a bit scratchier than I was expecting.

Hi Karen, sorry you weren't happy with your order. Generally speaking, a knot or two in 100g of wool is to be expected, but I'm not happy if you're not happy with your order. I've sent you an email!
