These Ponchos are made from a special blend of Yak + Bheda Sheep Wool + Polar Fleece Blend Shawl.

  The material contained in each shawl is Hand loomed in Nepal or India in designs generated from tribal family patterns. The yarn used in this piece appears to be a predominate blend of Grade B Yak Wool together with Bheda Sheep & 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.

The sizing of the handmade Ponchos varies; for larger sizes the sleeve will hang at mid-way between the elbow to possibly the wrist and for smaller sizes will hang at the wrist or above to the knees.  The front and rear V shape of the Poncho will hang somewhere between the mid-thigh to the knee depending on your size and height.  The following measurements may help you in selecting the Poncho that fits your sizing.

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.
