100% YAK FRINGE PONCHO is finally available to ship next week. This soft, warm luxurious blanket wrap is made from Yak, sourced directly from herding communities in Qinghai, Tibet, and Sichuan, enabling them to earn a sustainable living while preserving their traditional lifestyle.
Yaks are low carbon emission animals that have efficient digestive systems, emitting fewer greenhouse gases, including methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. The nomadic lifestyle of yaks with frequent seasonable migration prevents overgrazing in one area. Their diet of grass and shrubby vegetation also contributes to positive environmental impact and align with grassland conservation initiatives as yaks graze and feed gently without pulling up roots.
Yak down is 30% warmer than wool and 1.6x more breathable than cashmere – resulting in unbeatable warmth and a luxurious hand feel.
