The Yak, a sacred animal in Tibet, also known as the Tibetan ox, is a large mammal that lives on the Tibetan/Himalayan plateau, used by humans since ancient times for work, meat, milk, and wool. The fiber obtained from its hair, which it naturally sheds in early spring, is an excellent yarn for making garments such as blankets and scarves.

These scarves/blankets are incredibly soft and unique. They will keep you warm throughout the cold season, and a scarf is an essential accessory for any outfit!

Due to their size, they can also be used at the foot of a double bed or to completely cover a single bed. They will also be an indispensable accessory as a sofa throw to wrap yourself in while watching TV.

Tests on Yak fiber have shown that it is warmer than other wools. The fiber's diameter ranges between 16 and 20 microns, making its softness comparable to cashmere.

Since the animal naturally sheds its hair, it is not subjected to violent and painful practices, making this product free from animal cruelty. By purchasing this product, you will also support the economy of small villages that depend on this trade.

N.B. This fabric can be hand-washed with cold water and neutral detergent; do not let it soak, and rinse with running water. Do NOT wring.

Material: Yak wool / Himalayan wool / Acrylic
