Handschuhe aus Yakwolle – nie mehr kalte Hände
Product properties
Yak wool is our warmest, fluffiest and highest quality raw material. Since the wool is spun from the fine underhair of yaks, the products have a similar wearing comfort as cashmere. Although the gloves are knitted thinly, you won't get cold hands with them anymore. In terms of color, they perfectly match our other products made of the same material.
A natural color spectrum
Yak wool is difficult to dye. Therefore, yak wool products are available only in the beautiful natural colors of the yaks - light gray and dark brown.Durability & Care
rundsätzlich dürfen Wolltextilien seltener gewaschen werden als Produkte aus Synthetik oder Baumwolle – häufig hilft es schon, sie auszulüften. Man kann sie problemlos in lauwarmem Wasser vorsichtig per Hand waschen. Falls notwendig, kann als Reinigungsmittel normales Shampoo verwendet werden. Zum Trocknen legt man das Produkt am besten zwischen zwei Handtücher und drückt sie vorsichtig aus. Anschließend lässt man sie im Liegen trocknen, sodass sie nicht ausleiern. Auf keinen Fall darf man die Produkte auswringen, oder in den Trockner gebenHow are our products produced?
The entire value chain is located in Mongolia. We have lived in Mongolia for a long time and therefore know our producers personally. We buy the finished products directly on site and import them ourselves. Therefore, there are no middlemen and a large part of the revenue flows directly into Mongolia. Due to the short value chain, we can tell you exactly where the wool comes from:
Yak shearing
Yaks live outside all year round and can move freely with their herd. They are sheared only once a year in June for wool production. The nomads' lives revolve around their livestock, as it represents their livelihood, their capital and also their retirement provision. After shearing, the wool is sorted by color and fineness and brought to production in sacks by local wool merchants. The price is based on the fineness and purity of the hair.
Spinning and washing
The wool travels by trains and cars from the provinces to the capital of Mongolia, Ulan-Bator. Our products are produced there by family businesses with less than 50 employees. They buy the wool, wash, dry, comb and spin it. Compared to many other countries, Mongolia is not a "low-wage country". For this reason, mainly high-quality textiles are exported here.
