Yak Wool Yarn Khullu Beige

This handspun yarn is made from the very rare beige yak wool. Spinning yarn is the second step in making woolen fabric and a wonderful, loosely spun yarn for weaving, knitting or felting. Before it is spun it has been skirted - the removal of thorns and other dirt, then washed by hand and machine carded. It comes from the yaks of our team from Changthang. The yaks live at an altitude between 4000m and 5000m, therefore the wool promises excellent warmth for the colder days. The handspinning assures a 100% pure and natural yak wool. It is spun by our team of settled nomads close to the city of Leh, Ladakh. 100% yak wool from the Changthang Plateau 50g of single ply handspun yak wool yarn yarn length of 50g around 150m recommended needle size 3.00mm - 3.50mm perfect for knitting, weaving, felting the yarn is natural and has not been treated with chemicals farming: 1 year spinning: 2 days dyeing: 1 day Please note: This product is entirely made by hand.
