Despite being a wool, Tibetan Cloud has a softness more often associated with baby yak or cashmere, with none of the scratchiness you might expect. It’s light, bouncy and a pleasure to work with, creating fabric with excellent stitch definition and a gently airy feel.

The fibre is carefully selected and processed to bring out the softest part of the fleece, resulting in a yarn that feels refined yet still has a natural, honest character. It’s a lovely choice for garments you’ll reach for again and again.
