Yak Wool:
Yak is an
animal that lives high in the Himalayan mountains and is accustomed to extremely
low temperatures. The down layer of wool that is soft and next to the skin is
brushed out each spring and is then made into yarn for weaving. It is soft like
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.
