Yak Wool:
Yak is an animal that lives high in Himalayan mountains and
is accustomed 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 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 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.
