Made of warm yak wool

A jacquard yak wool scarf from SHOKAY that is useful in the cold winter and seasons when it feels chilly in the mornings and evenings. It is made of 100% yak fabric. Yaks are a type of cattle that have been cherished as a source of livelihood for the Tibetan people in the Himalayas since ancient times. Yak hair is generally not well known, but its soft hair is called "down" and is a very luxurious fiber, comparable to cashmere. This is because only 100g can be obtained from one yak.

Yaks grow in cold regions at altitudes of over 3,000m, and their body hair is a combination of soft and hard hair to withstand harsh environments, and has excellent heat retention and moisture retention properties. The fibers are thin and smooth, so even people with sensitive skin can wear it with confidence. In addition, this unisex scarf with a basic design is also recommended as a gift for loved ones on birthdays and Christmas.

Yak Features
1. Heat retention: Heat retention is 10 to 15% higher than merino wool.
2. Breathability and antibacterial properties: Yak hair has the property of absorbing moisture from the body and releasing it into the outside environment, so there is no sweat smell or sticky feeling that you feel when wearing chemical fibers. It is odor-resistant, so you can rest assured even in difficult-to-wash conditions.

3. Softness: Yak down, which is extracted from the long, curly hair of yaks, is about 14 to 20 microns thick and feels wonderful against the skin.

4. Durability: It is a fiber that is more durable than wool.

5. Resistance to static electricity: It is said that the hair is less susceptible to static electricity than wool or cashmere.
