The yarn used in this piece appears to be a predominate blend of Yak Wool together with Polar Fleece. We are uncertain at this time as to the percentages of Yak wool to the other material blends but our supplier assures us a significant portion of the blend is Yak Wool. Polar Fleece adds to the beauty, strength, softness and durability of the Poncho while the Yak Wool adds to its ultra warmth and softness.

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.

The Photos are taken in flood light settings to show the brightness of the colors, as they are more muted in shadow.
