Himalayan Yak Wool: The New Cashmere [The Guardian: December 2010]

Yak is an animal that lives high in Himalayan Mountains and is accustomed extremely low temperatures. The down layer of the Yak wool is soft, which is next to the skin, is brushed out each spring that is then made into yarn for weaving. It is soft like the high altitude 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 Yak Wool. It’s naturally anti-bacterial. 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.

Dependent on the lighting and the quality of your computer monitor, the photos are only an estimate of the actual colors and maybe not exactly as shown. We attempt to include many photos with different light settings so the customer can get a feel for the actual colors. The bright color of the close-up photos is due to the off lighting or back light and are not the true color in natural light. The full view shots are also done in shadow and are a more realistic view of the true color in natural light. The colors are actually far more vivid and deeper than the photos. In the daylight or bright lights the Poncho is brightly colored and in the dark or shade it has a muted appearance...the photos can never portray the vividness of the colors and detail of the design.

Additional Information: The descriptions we use for our merchandise are based on our supplier’s representations to us. We do not manufacture our own merchandise so we rely on what we are told by our suppliers; who in turn relies on the weavers; who in turn relies on the yarn merchants, etc. Unless a seller makes their own yarn and manufactures their own merchandise in their shop, the seller is unaware of what materials are actually included in the yarn used to weave the shawls that we make our clothing from. When a supplier advises us that he knows or believes that the yarn is a mixed blend, we note so in our descriptions. If our supplier advises that the yarn mixture is predominately Yak or Sheep wool, then the merchandise is described as Yak Wool or Sheep Wool or some combination of both. If the supplier informs us that they believe the merchandise is a blend of Viscose or Polar Fleece, we note that it is a "Blend" of these materials plus the Yak and Sheep wool in our descriptions. We are unable to determine the actual % relationship of materials that maybe included in our merchandise without a costly lab test, which would have to be added to the price of our merchandise and make selling it prohibitive. We do not note anywhere in our product descriptions that an item is “100%” or “Pure” unless we have a strong assurance that it is possibly a true statement. and make selling it prohibitive.
