With warm yak hair

Yak is a member of the cattle that has long been valued as a source of livelihood for Tibetans in the Himalayas. Generally, yak hair is not well known, but its soft hair is called "down" and is a very high-grade fiber, comparable to cashmere. That's because you can only get 100g from one yak.

Yak, which grows in cold regions above 3000 m above sea level, has body hair that is a combination of soft and hard hair so that it can withstand harsh environments, and has excellent heat retention and moisture retention. The fibers are fine and smooth, so even people with sensitive skin can wear it with confidence.
