Yak Wool & Sustainability
Why Choose Yak Wool?
Yak wool is breathable, soft, and naturally insulating. It’s one of the most sustainable animal fibers available—and ideal for everyday wear.
Benefits of Yak Wool:
Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking
Softer than traditional wool, with less pilling than cashmere
Warmth without weight
Hypoallergenic and itch-free for most skin
Grown with a low environmental impactY
aks are perfectly suited to their high-altitude environment. They graze sustainably and require no synthetic inputs. Their fiber is hand-combed each spring by nomadic herders—a process that supports local livelihoods and keeps traditional practices alive.

How We Source
We work only with suppliers who prioritize traceability, animal welfare, and community livelihood.
Our sourcing standards:
Hand-combed, not sheared
Traceable to source
Made in small batches
No harmful chemical processing
In addition to yak, we use RWS-certified sheep’s wool. This ensures ethical sourcing, responsible land use, and humane animal treatment through the Responsible Wool Standard.
Designed for Longevity
We produce in small batches to avoid overproduction and reduce waste. Each sweater, vest, or scarf is made to last—functionally and stylistically. Our designs are seasonless, versatile, and built around fiber performance. That means fewer, better pieces you’ll reach for every day.
