Yak wool is one of nature’s warmest, most breathable fibers — naturally insulating, moisture-wicking, and ideal for harsh winters. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our yak wool is harvested ethically from nomadic herders in Ladakh and made on order only, preserving tradition and supporting mountain livelihoods. It’s warmth with purpose.

Care
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your woollens, we recommend gentle hand washing in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting; instead, press out excess water and lay flat to dry in shade. Store folded in a cool, dry place, and keep away from direct sunlight and moths. With mindful care, your garments will remain heirlooms for generations.
