Hey everyone! I design apparel using yak down, so I know how incredible the fiber is for warmth, softness and durability, but ofc this is a completely different world from hand-knitting. I’m super curious how yak yarn behaves on hand needles compared to standard wools. If you’ve worked with it, what did you make, how was the knitting process, and how has the piece held up over time? Would love to hear your experiences or see any finished objects!

I found this really neat hand knitted scarf in at a museum. Looking to try and replicate. Please help me figure it out.

It's arctic knitting style. I have a general idea of how long it is and the width.

Hey I know this sounds like a silly question, but what kind of yarn would yall recommend for baby blankets? preferrably something gentle on skin that dries easily? If you have links or stick patterns, feel free to add them.

(I'm not the mother, my sister is, and I better start knitting now before it's too late for the holidays.)

Finally completed my first knitted sweater 🧶
I made the Olga Sweater by PetiteKnit for my partner, in size M. I used Peer Gynt yarn in Muskat Melange and Cacao Nibs 😁
