Know before you buy
Yak wool is exceptionally soft, often compared to cashmere or alpaca. It is naturally breathable and provides significant warmth without the heavy, scratchy texture sometimes associated with traditional sheep's wool.
To maintain the integrity of the handspun fibers, we recommend professional dry cleaning. If you must spot clean, use a gentle wool-safe detergent and cold water, laying the throw flat to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Yes, the grand herringbone weave is consistent throughout the fabric. Because it is handwoven, the pattern appears slightly more muted on the reverse side, maintaining a sophisticated look regardless of how it is draped.
Like all natural animal fibers, some minor shedding or pilling can occur with initial use. This is a natural characteristic of handspun wool and can be easily managed with a fabric shaver or by gently brushing the fibers.
Measuring 105 cm by 200 cm, this throw is designed primarily as a decorative accent for a sofa or an armchair. While it can be used as a light layer at the foot of a twin bed, it is not sized to provide full coverage for larger mattresses.
