Yak Wool vs Cashmere

Yak wool rivals cashmere in softness while outperforming it in warmth, durability, and sustainability. With ultra-fine fibres measuring 16–20 microns (compared to cashmere’s 14–19 microns), it feels luxuriously soft against the skin, offers exceptional insulation, resists pilling, and comes from animals that support healthy grassland ecosystems. Only the finest cashmere is marginally softer.
