TIBET TWEED by FILCOM, Italy is a refined luxury yarn created from 50% Yak and 50% Silk. With approximately 550 meters / 601 yards per 100 g, this fine sport-to-light-fingering yarn offers a rare balance of softness, warmth, elegance, and airy lightness. The yarn has a tweedy character that gives the finished fabric more visual depth and a more natural, textured look than a plain smooth yarn.

What makes TIBET TWEED especially appealing is the contrast between its two luxury fibers. Yak adds depth, warmth, and an exceptionally soft hand, while silk brings refinement, a smoother finish, and elegant drape. Together, they create a fabric that feels rich and elevated, but still light enough for refined sweaters, shawls, wraps, and accessories.

▣ Product Specifications

• Article: TIBET TWEED

⌁ Texture & Feel
• Very soft, light, and refined
• Tweedy visual texture with more depth than a plain yarn
• Yak adds warmth and a softly velvety hand
• Silk adds smoothness and elegance
• Airy rather than heavy
• Beautiful for polished, natural-looking fabric

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
TIBET TWEED offers a very unusual luxury blend. Yak brings warmth, depth, and softness with a slightly more grounded natural character than cashmere, while silk keeps the yarn elegant and fluid. The tweedy effect adds even more visual interest, which makes this yarn especially beautiful in simple stitches and understated projects where the fabric itself should remain the focus.

This is also a very soft yarn, which makes it especially appealing for garments and accessories worn close to the skin. Because of its fine meterage, it can create lightweight pieces that feel warm without heaviness.

➤ Important Note About the Colors
I highly recommend zooming in on each color photo to see the beautiful tweed multicolor structure of every shade. This yarn is not visually flat — each color has its own softly blended, textural character, and the close-up view helps show the depth and beauty much better.

➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage
• Beautiful for hand knitting and refined crochet
• Excellent for shawls, wraps, scarves, and lightweight sweaters
• A strong choice for elegant tops, cardigans, and layering pieces
• Best in simple stitches that let the tweedy yak/silk character remain visible
• Especially appealing for projects where softness, warmth, and texture matter

⋔ Recommended Yarn Usage
• Scarf or narrow wrap: approx. 100–180 g
• Shawl or wrap: approx. 150–300 g
• Lightweight top / shell: approx. 200–350 g
• Lightweight sweater (S–M): approx. 300–450 g
• Sweater (L–XL): approx. 450–600 g
• Long cardigan or larger wrap: approx. 500–700 g

➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT
• Fine Silk — for even more drape and refinement
• Soft Yak or Cashmere Companions — for a fuller, warmer luxury fabric
• Fine Merino — for more structure and everyday wearability

✦ Recommended Needles / Hooks
• Knitting needles: start around 3.0–3.75 mm
• Crochet hooks: start around 3.0–3.5 mm
• Swatching is recommended to find the best balance of drape, warmth, and stitch definition

⟳ Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp
• Store folded rather than hanging
• Wash swatch before final sizing calculations

Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)

⚑ FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.


⚑ FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. Cones may be purchased separately if you prefer continuous yardage for machine knitting or multi-strand projects. One color is typically wound per cone to maintain consistency.

PLEASE BUY CONES HERE

Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

Please Note

  • Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
  • Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
  • FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
  • Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
