    Handwoven in the Himalayas, this large, yak-wool shawl is a premium product which nods to local heritage. Supremely soft, warm and long-lasting, you can be sure it'll feel good on your skin! Wear this over your coat over the shoulders or snaked around your neck on those arctic days. 

    As soft and fine as cashmere and just as rare, khullu is the inner coat of wool, often what a young yak that sheds in its first spring. Locals have always collected this fine yet robust wool to spin and weave into garments that withstand the Himalayan temperatures.

    Rather than being farmed, the yak is a part of the family, providing milk and transportation over the rugged mountain terrain. Their hooves are known to help soil regeneration in the region, making it quite the environmental champion. This softest of fibres does not withstand dyeing and comes in three natural colors.

    Dryclean the first time, after which your shawl can be hand washed with a wool detergent and laid flat to dry. Can be cool ironed and combed with a cashmere comb. Store with cedar balls to prevent moths.

    Khullu

    The yak, a native to the Nepalese Himalayas, offers many uses to the people of these mountains, providing sustenance and warmth. Himalayans have traditionally collected the first hair of the baby yak as it shed and woven it into cozy blankets and shawls.

    The best part is that the animals' hooves do not erode the soil but in fact do the opposite. A luxurious material that is soft as cashmere and as strong as camel hair and will last a life time.
