Lotus Tibetan Yak is a precious, pure, super soft, plied yak wool in Natural Brown. It is is suitable for hand and machine knitting. ULTRA warm and soft the same way as Mongolian cashmere or Arctic qiviut. At -35℃, you will be surprised finding yourself warm, wearing a sweater / hat / socks knitted of Tibetan Yak wool. Finished garments look as made of pure cashmere in a natural hue of brown.

FYI Tibetan Yaks' undercoat is a precious fiber similar to Mongolian Cashmere. A premium quality Yak fiber micron count is between 15 and 17 microns. It is velvety and incredibly soft. The yaks shed their coats and normally it is gathered from the ground. The extremely fine yak's belly hair is usually combed out by hand, and then spun into yarn. Each yak produces about 100 gr of down (undercoat) fiber per year. China's Qinhai, Sichuan and Gansu Provinces are the major producers of the commercialized yak.
