Product description

A wonderful, cosy blanket made of pure yak wool offers exceptional softness and warmth, making it perfect for snuggling up on cool evenings. Yak wool is known for its insulating properties, its light feel and its natural durability, and provides luxurious comfort that wraps you in gentle warmth.

Unlike cashmere wool, which is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats and is known for its silky-smooth texture and fine fibres, yak wool is coarser, yet still incredibly soft and insulating, which makes it ideal for colder climates.

In addition, yak wool is more sustainable and more resilient, as it is often produced in harsher environments, where it withstands the elements better than cashmere, which requires gentle treatment and is often associated with more intensive processing. Overall, a yak wool blanket combines natural cosiness with longevity and offers a unique and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cashmere.

As this is mainly a natural product, there may be slight variations in colour and size. The incidence of light and the type of light source can also slightly affect how the colour appears.

Our yak wool comes exclusively from Nepali yak breeders with small herds and free-roaming animals in the high Himalayan regions of Nepal.

Throw Size: 130 cm × 255 cm (51 × 100 in)

Material: 100% yak wool

Available colours: Taupe / Beige / Light grey / Dark brown / Black

We source our products from small, selected manufacturers in Nepal. Quality control and the manufacture of the products under fair conditions are very important to us. Animal welfare and the keeping of the yaks and cashmere goats also play a major role for us.

With every item sold, the women who wove it are paid. What remains after deducting all selling costs contributes substantially to the work of Namaste Kids e. V. — accompanying more than 500 children in the mountain regions of the Himalaya, over years until the end of their schooling.

Cleaning is by machine wash or gentle hand wash.

Details

The finest selection of fibres for exceptional softness

Our yak wool blanket stands for the highest quality and is made from carefully selected, particularly fine yak undercoat. Only fibres that meet strict requirements for fineness, length and uniformity are used in its making.

The fibres used are distinguished by a very small fibre diameter, which makes the blanket exceptionally soft, pleasant on the skin and luxurious to the touch.

Optimal fibre length for durability and comfort

Long, high-quality fibres are used deliberately in the making. The optimal fibre length ensures a stable, durable structure, reduces pilling and improves the shape retention of the blanket over many years.

The result is a particularly high-quality material with a pleasant hand and lasting comfort.

High uniformity for a particularly refined look

Particular attention is paid to the uniformity of the fibres. Only undercoat with a high degree of homogeneity in fineness and fibre length is processed.

The small spread in fibre properties produces a particularly even, high-quality fabric with a calm surface, a refined look and excellent comfort.

Minimised share of coarse fibres for maximum quality

For the highest purity, the share of coarse guard hairs is consistently minimised. The result is an exceptionally soft blanket that brings out the special properties of high-quality yak undercoat to best effect.

The result is a luxurious material with high thermal performance at a low weight.

Natural luxury with exceptional thermal performance

The finished yak wool blanket combines natural temperature regulation, particular durability and luxurious comfort.

The result is an exclusive blanket made from fibres that meet the highest quality standards – soft, light, temperature-balancing and made for many years.

Care instructions for your high-quality yak wool blanket

✓ Air it regularly rather than washing it often
High-quality yak wool has natural temperature- and moisture-regulating properties. It is often enough to air the blanket regularly in the fresh air so that it keeps its freshness and its natural properties in the long term. The fine natural fibres can absorb odours and release them again, which means frequent washing is usually not necessary.

✓ Gentle machine washing is possible
The blanket can be washed on the wool or delicates programme at a maximum of 30 °C. Use only a high-quality wool detergent, a special detergent for fine natural fibres or a pH-neutral shampoo. Because of the particularly fine fibres with a diameter of 16 to 19 µm, a low spin speed and the use of a laundry bag are advisable, to give the delicate fibre structure additional protection.

✓ Alternatively: gentle hand washing
For particularly gentle cleaning, hand washing in cold to lukewarm water (maximum 30 °C) is suitable. Use a mild wool detergent or a pH-neutral shampoo and move the blanket carefully in the water, so that the fine fibres keep their exceptional softness and homogeneity permanently.

✓ Do not rub, wring or stretch hard
The exceptionally fine and long yak fibres should only be moved gently during cleaning. Vigorous rubbing, twisting or wringing can impair the delicate fibre structure and change the natural softness and the even surface of the blanket.

✓ Remove moisture gently
After washing, press the blanket out carefully without twisting it. It is then advisable to roll the blanket in a clean towel so that excess moisture is absorbed gently. This preserves the natural structure of the high-quality fibres as well as possible.

✓ Dry flat
After washing, carefully ease the blanket back into its original shape and let it dry lying on a flat surface. Because of the fine, long fibres, the blanket should never be hung up, as the weight of the moisture can permanently change the structure. Do not tumble dry.

✓ Protect from heat and direct sunlight
Strong heat, direct sunlight, radiators or other sources of heat can dry out natural fibres and strain the exceptionally fine fibres in the long term. For the longest possible life, drying in a well-ventilated, shady place is advisable.

✓ Store with care
Always store your yak wool blanket clean and completely dry. For longer storage, breathable fabric bags are advisable so that the natural fibres get sufficient air circulation. Cedar wood or lavender sachets, for example, are suitable as natural protection.

✓ Professional cleaning if needed
For larger areas of soiling or particularly delicate finishes, professional cleaning can be sensible. In addition, always observe the individual care instructions on the label, to preserve the exceptional quality and softness of your yak wool blanket in the long term.

Care and cleaning recommendations for your yak wool blankets

Yak wool, too, is a very fine and high-quality natural fibre. With the right care, your yak wool blanket stays soft, supple and beautiful for many years.

Slide image

How to store and keep your yak wool products

Yak wool is, like cashmere wool a particularly fine and luxurious natural fibre. The right storage helps to preserve its exceptional softness, shape and quality for many years.

Regular care

Yak wool is a particularly high-quality natural fibre, valued for its exceptional warmth, breathability and durability. Compared with cashmere, yak wool has a slightly more robust fibre structure and is therefore often easier to care for in everyday use, without losing any of its exceptional softness.

Thanks to its natural temperature- and moisture-regulating properties, yak wool items rarely need washing. Airing them regularly in the fresh air is often enough. The fibres can absorb and release moisture and odours naturally, which keeps the material fresh for a long time.

  • Avoid direct sunlight while airing.
  • Light lint or pilling can be removed carefully with a wool or cashmere comb.
  • Frequent washing should be avoided in order to preserve the natural properties of the fibres in the long term.

Washing

Yak wool is generally more resilient than many other fine animal fibres, but it should always be treated gently.

  • Wash only when necessary.
  • Hand wash in cold to lukewarm water (max. 30 °C).
  • Use a mild wool detergent or a pH-neutral shampoo.
  • Do not rub, brush, wring or stretch the product.
  • If machine washing, use only the wool or delicates programme at a low spin speed.

Thanks to the natural elasticity and stability of yak fibres, high-quality products keep their shape and their pleasant feel particularly well even after repeated care.

Drying

After washing, press out excess water carefully or absorb it with a clean towel. Then bring the product back into its original shape and let it dry flat.

  • Do not hang it up, as natural fibres can lose their shape under the weight of the moisture.
  • Do not use a tumble dryer.
  • Protect from direct sunlight, radiators and other strong sources of heat.

Professional cleaning

For larger blankets, delicate textiles or heavier soiling, professional cleaning can be worthwhile. With high-quality products made from fine yak undercoat in particular, expert cleaning helps to preserve the natural softness and the structure of the fibres in the long term.

The care instructions on the individual label always take precedence.

Storage

Yak wool should be stored only when clean and completely dry.

  • Protect it against moths, for example with cedarwood or lavender sachets.
  • Keep it in a dry, well-ventilated place.
  • For longer storage, breathable fabric bags are better than plastic packaging.

Tip

Yak wool comes from animals exposed to extreme climatic conditions high in the mountains. This gives the fibres excellent temperature-balancing and moisture-regulating properties. Compared with cashmere, yak wool is often somewhat more resilient and less demanding to care for, while at the same time offering exceptional softness and warmth. Regular airing rather than frequent washing is therefore the best care, preserving the natural properties of the fibres for many years.

The right preparation

Before blankets or other items of yak wool are put into storage, they should always be clean and completely dry. Even small amounts of moisture can strain the fibres during longer storage and impair the natural quality of the material.

Before storage, it is advisable to air the items thoroughly. Yak wool has excellent moisture-regulating properties and can release absorbed moisture and odours again in a natural way. This keeps the material fresh and pleasant for a long time.

  • Store only clean and completely dry items.
  • Air in the fresh air before storage.
  • Never keep damp or soiled textiles for long periods.

Suitable storage

Yak wool is an exceptionally high-quality natural fibre with a fine yet remarkably resilient structure. Compared with very fine cashmere, it often proves somewhat less sensitive to pressure and daily use when stored properly.

Breathable fabric bags, cotton covers or other air-permeable storage solutions are particularly well suited for storage. The natural air circulation helps to preserve the properties of the fibres and protects against the build-up of moisture.

  • Use breathable fabric bags.
  • Avoid airtight plastic packaging where possible.
  • Store blankets loosely folded.
  • Do not keep heavy objects on the textiles permanently.

Protection from moths

Like cashmere and other high-quality natural fibres, yak wool contains natural keratin and can therefore attract moths. Suitable moth protection helps to preserve the quality and beauty of the fibres in the long term.

Natural moth repellents such as cedar wood or lavender sachets have proved particularly effective.

  • Use cedar wood or lavender sachets.
  • Renew moth protection regularly.
  • Check storage places now and then.

Storage place

The ideal storage place is dry, clean and well ventilated. Although yak wool has a high natural resilience because of its origin in climatically demanding high-mountain regions, it should be protected from permanently high humidity.

Direct sunlight can impair natural fibres and colours in the long term. Storage protected from light is therefore advisable.

  • Store cool, dry and well ventilated.
  • Protect from direct sunlight.
  • Do not keep in damp cellars or poorly ventilated areas.

Long-term storage

For seasonal or longer storage, it is advisable to check the textiles now and then and air them briefly. This keeps the fibres loose and preserves their natural elasticity.

Blankets should be folded as loosely as possible. This helps to preserve the exceptional softness and the even structure of the fine yak fibres for many years.

Tip

The yak's undercoat protects the animals in their natural environment from extreme fluctuations in temperature and harsh weather conditions. This special adaptation gives the fibres an exceptional combination of softness, thermal performance and resilience. With dry, airy and moth-protected storage, the natural properties of high-quality yak wool are preserved for many years.
