This beanie is hand-spun and hand-knitted by our team in Ladakh. The beanie is knitted with the very rare white yak wool and beige yak wool from the Changthang Plateau plucked by the nomad community. Each year we are only able to source about 4kg of white yak wool, of which only 1kg soft yak down, called khullu, remains. This precious wool is used in this timeless beanie. It is a very soft yarn and despite its light weight, a very warm beanie.

Please note: This product is entirely made by hand. Therefore, irregularities in thickness of yarn are characteristic to the craft of handspinning. The fabric and the dye will change over time - the wool is becoming softer and the dyes lighter. Please cold wash only with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Do not soak.
