khullu (Ladakhi) - yak wool
This is our first yak wool beanie in our collection! It is entirely made from the soft down of the yak, called khullu. Handspun and handwoven in Ladakh, it is also our first beanie made in Ladakh. Compared to our lambswool beanies, this one is a bit more chunky, slightly heavier and has a loose fit. It feels great on the head, is soft and keeps very warm. It can be worn as a slouch beanie, with a fold or also in a fisherman's style - just like the Ladakhis.

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.
