Purely Listed analysis

A relevant yak-and-merino knitwear specialist, but the earlier audit overstated the prevalence of 100% single-fiber garments. Independent owners and the brand’s own editorial material confirm that prominent all-season pieces are blends—often 75% merino and 25% yak—while some winter pieces are 100% yak. No brand-wide plastic-free claim is assumed; sewing thread, elastic, linings, closures, finishes, and trims still require product-level confirmation. The score is brand-wide: an excellent 100% natural-fiber item does not make a mixed catalog synthetic-free.

What to verify before buying

Confirm the exact product page and care label for fiber percentages, sewing thread, elastic, labels, linings, closures, finishes, coatings, and packaging. “100%” normally describes the main fabric unless the brand provides a full component bill of materials.

Best for

Repeat-wear yak-wool and merino sweaters, polos, and lightweight knit shirts.

Material risk

Check each composition. Do not infer 100% yak or 100% merino across the catalog; also verify ribbing, sewing thread, labels, socks, and packaging.
