Anyone who thinks yak is scratchy is thinking of the coarse guard hairs of around 49 micrometres — these are separated out. Only the fine undercoat of 16 to 19 micrometres is used: soft on the skin, and it insulates measurably better than the guard hairs. A warm scarf for winter that can take some wear: of the fine animal fibres measured side by side in the specialist literature, the yak fibre has the highest strength; its scales lie flat, so the fabric hardly felts and tolerates washing well. Brown, grey and anthracite come from the animal, not from the dye bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the fibre – origin, characteristics, care: \u003ca href=\"\/en-int\/pages\/yakwolle\"\u003eYak wool\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith every item sold, the women who wove it are paid.
