There are yarns that are practical, sensible choices. And then there’s Yak Silk DK, which feels like it has a passport, a very good coat, and reservations somewhere you probably can’t get into.

Freckled Frog Yak Silk DK is a ridiculously luxurious blend of 60% superwash merino wool, 20% Grade A Mulberry silk, and 20% yak. The merino gives it softness and bounce, the silk adds gorgeous drape and a subtle sheen, and the yak brings warmth, depth, and that delicious what IS this? feeling when you pick it up.

The result is a smooth, rich DK-weight yarn that feels special before you’ve even put it on the needles. It’s beautiful for sweaters, cardigans, cowls, shawls, hats, and anything else that deserves to be elevated from “I made this” to “Yes, I made this. Please stop touching me.”

With 232 yards per 100g skein, you get enough yardage to make some very questionable decisions involving sweater quantities.

Soft. Silky. Sophisticated.

Basically, it’s a terrible influence with excellent taste.
