This oversized scarf is made from the softest yak wool.  The yarn is handspun and is in a beautiful medium brown with variegated strands of natural woven through. This is perfect wrapped around the neck in a variety of ways, or alternatively you can wear it with a pin or brooch.  The large size also makes it an easy small travel blanket too.

About Norlha

"Norlha is the Tibetan Plateau’s first yak khullu atelier. We opened our doors in 2007 in Ritoma Village, a nomad settlement comprising 230 families, 6000 yaks and 20,000 sheep. We now employ 130 people, all former nomads or members of nomad families, who have spun, woven and felted for generations. Still, creating a modern, marketable product required thinking and innovation as the local tools, drop spindles and blackstrap looms, were not conducive to commercially viable production. We innovated by using outside technology, importing charkhas and flying shuttle looms from India and Nepal, both ideal for a village based industry. For felting, we combined modern technology and the traditional knowledge and techniques of the local women."
