NOMAD is a distinguished sport weight yarn that embraces the rich heritage of nomadic
cultures and the timeless traditions of textile crafts. Drawing inspiration from the ancient practice of yak herding across vast landscapes, this exceptional yarn captures the essence of movement, resilience and creative freedom.
Crafted with natural yak fibres, NOMAD features a characteristic grey-brown undertone that celebrates the authentic beauty of this remarkable material. Rather than masking these natural hues, the yarn showcases them proudly, allowing the fibres' inherent warmth and character to shine through in every stitch. This thoughtful approach creates depth and dimension in your finished pieces, connecting your craft to ancient textile traditions that span continents and centuries.
The sport weight profile makes NOMAD wonderfully versatile—substantial enough for durable garments yet light enough for intricate stitch definition. Its remarkable qualities make it perfect for both everyday wear and special projects that demand both beauty and performance.
With each project made from NOMAD, you craft not just a garment or accessory, but a storied piece that carries the essence of exploration and tradition. Your creations become wearable testaments to both ancient practices and modern interpretation—timeless treasures that speak of distant horizons and the enduring human impulse to create beauty wherever we roam.
