YOGI HIMALAYAN YAK WOOL MEDITATION SHAWL :
In the mountains of Ladakh and Tibet, Yak herders can be seen roaming the plains with their herds of Yaks. Their milk is used for tea and Yak cheese, and their warm woolen coat is collected and spun into yarns to produce this warm woolen shawl. This shawl is hand-loomed using ethical yak wool yarns in the Himalayan mountains by a small community of Tribal artisans. This traditional shawl has been worn for centuries in the mountains on the Indo-Tibetan border and in the foothills of the Himalayas.

This Yak Wool Meditation Shawl is handcrafted by traditional artisans of the Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh, North India. It is the perfect yoga and meditation blanket. Wrap yourself up in an original, authentic, and super comforting blanket from the Yoga home, made by the ladies of my village in the Indian Himalayas.
Handmade from superfine wool, this shawl will keep you warm and cozy.

MATERIAL OF THE SHAWL: YAK WOOL
The yak has three different coats of wool to sustain it in the severe cold atmosphere of the Himalayas. The down fiber of the yak is considered one of the softest and warmest wool in the world. The artisans create different colored weft yarn to weave exclusive Himalayan shawls from it.
It is made with Yak wool and Himalayan sheep wool obtained from Kargyam village in the Changthang area of Ladakh

WEAVING OF THE HIMALAYAN SHAWL:
This shawl is made by using the traditional pit loom process of weaving. In this procedure, the woolen shawls are manually made by winding, drafting, denting, pulling, and adjusting as per the requirement. The geometric decoration of the shawl border is woven as a basketweave with the help of a slit-tapestry or dovetailing technique.
