The Yak freely follows the normadic families high up on the Mongolian steppe north of the Himalayas. Here it is very windy and cold. Down to -60"F. the wool is collected at the onset of summer by the herders.

The Yak wool is warmer than wool, more breathable than cashmere and have a smooth, fine texture. It also has anti-bacterial and odor resistant qualities.
