This 50% yak and 50% wool coarse spun yarn offers a grounded, tactile character with a naturally rustic depth. Spun at 2/16Nm, it carries a slightly uneven, heathered surface that enhances its organic expression and artisanal feel.

The color nr021 is a heathered burgundy purple, shifting gently between muted wine tones and soft violet undertones. During production, slight color bleeding may occur, contributing to its raw, unpolished textile personality rather than compromising usability.

As an industrial surplus cone yarn, it is consistent in structure yet intentionally unrefined in aesthetic, making it ideal for makers who value authenticity, texture, and natural variation in fiber.
