Description

Yak is a large bovine inhabiting high-altitude cold deserts and faces the harsh cold conditions of these windswept trans-Himalayan regions of Ladakh, Tibet, Mongolia and parts of central Asia. Like pashmina goats, they also develop an undercoat of very soft and warm fiber to survive. The fiber (called Yak wool) is almost as soft as pashmina. Its wool (the soft down) is well known for its warmth, softness, breathability and odor. Yak wool for our shawls is procured primarily from nomads in Ladakh.
