Yak wool
In the highlands of Central Asia - India, Nepal on the border with Tibet - the yak lives at an altitude of 3,000 m or more. With its thick fur, this type of cattle is ideally suited to the harsh climatic conditions. In winter it gets up to 45 ° cold here.
Once a year, when the winter coat is changed, the hair is combed out. After separation from the coarse outer hairs, about 300 to 500 grams of the fine underhair remain per animal. The lower hair is usually used for textile production. It has a fiber fineness of 15 to 19 micrometers and can be compared directly with cashmere.
The natural coloring can change from black-brown to red to white. Yak wool is assigned to the noble hair. These animal hairs are known for their delicacy and
Exclusivity called noble hair.
✓ 100% handcraft
✓ Original yak wool
✓ Made in India
Manufacturing
From collecting the fine wool to spinning the yarn to weaving, the towels are 100% handcrafted. The processing steps take place directly with the nomads or in small cooperatives without child labor.
This is how unique cloths are created. Even if the same pattern is used, each scarf is unique.
We have decided not to “commission” any special cloths, but to leave the selection to the weavers.
Why we have Indian scarves in our range
It all started with a message from India. India, the country I love to travel to, has moved a long way away due to Corona and the news touched me very much: "No work since March" wrote my guide Abdul, with whom I have been to India many times. No, it wasn't a begging letter, just a short message about how the people there are doing.
Donating money was not a solution and so we wrote to people who had already been with Abdul to place a bulk order for kashmiri shawls. Within a very short time there were over 50 orders and so the goatherds were able to sell their wool, the weavers operate their looms and Abdul take care of the organization and the transport to us. A total of 15 people were suddenly back in wages and bread.
So that this campaign does not remain a one-off support, but people have a perspective of continuing to earn money, we are now offering the scarves in our shop. Most of what a cloth costs goes directly to India, to the people who are responsible for the extraction of the raw material and the manufacture.
