The journey begins in Tibet, where baby yak down is harvested by hand, combing the undercoat for short, precious fibers. Off to the finest woollen mills in Italy to be softly spun into plies by expert craftsmen. Two plies are gently twizzled together creating a delicate, lace-weight yarn tailor-made for lacy shawls and accessories.\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking hard to preserve the natural properties of the fiber, mYak skips all decoloring and chemical processes, guaranteeing an excellent quality product that respects the environment and the fiber itself. The end result is a soothing set of heathered, earth tones mixed with saturated colours and rich, dark neutrals. \u003cbr\u003eWarmer than sheep's wool, and as soft as cashmere, this exquisite 100% baby yak is hard-wearing, luxurious and ethically sourced, and even organic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwner Paola lived and worked in Tibet for many years.
