Yak Wool: The New Cashmere [The Guardian: December 2010]
___________________________________________
Yak Wool:
Yak is an animal that lives high in Himalayan mountains and is accustomed to extremely low temperatures. The "Down" layer of wool, which is soft and next to the skin, is brushed out each spring and is then made into yarn for weaving. It is soft like the high altitude Himalayan goats that give us cashmere and keeps you very warm. Yaks live at a staggering 13.000 to 16,500 ft. above sea level.
The Yak wool is non-allergenic. There is no lanolin in the fiber; thus, making it easy to clean and is hypoallergenic. So anyone that is allergic to sheep wool can wear or cover oneself with a Yak Shawl or Throw. It’s naturally anti-bacterial too, so unlike synthetic garments it will stay odor-free for many days at a time. Unlike sheep's wool, the scales of yak fiber are in a waved mosaic pattern, resulting in a very smooth fiber that does not itch.
Himalayan Bheda Sheep:
The Himalayan sheep is known as "Bheda" sheep and are closely related to the Himalayan goats, especially "O Aries" and bred in a number of domesticated varieties. The sheep wool used in this blend is woven exclusively from the soft highland sheep wool.
