Developed in August 2008 by MinkYarn.com, our exclusive 70% Mink 30% cashmere yarn is among the world’s finest, exotic luxury yarns. This yarn blossoms as you work with it, even more so after it’s washed, developing its signature soft halo.

It’s important to know the minks are not harmed in any way. Healthy, stress-free minks brushed twice a year produce the softest, most lustrous fibers. Finally you can enjoy the luxury of real mink with peace of mind.

The 4 ply Chamonix is excellent for stockinette stitch or any kind of plain knitting - the blossoming of the yarn is just beautiful when it is all done and adds an elegant effect.

The 6 ply Meribel is great if texture and knitted-in design is important and you want the softness, comfort and warmth of the mink cashmere.
