The nomads comb their domestic animals in spring, making them lightweight and ready for hot summers. Combed wool is selected for clothes and handicrafts.
Resilience, elasticity, durability, breathability, and warmth. Pure yak down can easily absorb moisture but also release moisture. It always maintains a perfect balance. Mongolians can use sheep, camel, and yak wool in winter under -40 C and in summer when it's + 20 C, as pure and organic wool regulates temperature well.
Yak down does not itch and can absorb up to a third of their dry weight in moisture. Compared to cashmere, Yak wool products last longer and are much warmer. Besides keeping the skin dry, this quality also naturally inhibits mildew.
Most synthetic fibers increase body odor by creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Sweat itself has no odor, but bacteria develop and create unpleasant odors over time. Yak down reduces the opportunity for odors to develop by quickly absorbing sweat and evaporating it into the air. Unlike synthetic fabrics, wool does not retain odors and will freshen from airing out.
Due to its location and severe climate conditions, Mongolian Yak
Down is known to be the finest, longest, and softest. Far from the Oceans, high in altitude, and chilled by the coldest Siberian winds from the north, Mongolia is extremely dry and cold in winter. Due to these harsh conditions, domestic Yaks develop the most resistant and warmest down hair under their wool. Of all domestic animals, Yak down is the premium. Pure yak down is one of the “Mongolian Noble Fibres.”
Yaks graze the top of the grass, meaning that they leave the grass to re-grow. As such, yaks are the most conscious animals for Nomads regarding their environment.
Also, Yak down is soft like cashmere while maintaining the strongest elasticity.
