Nomad Net Boiled Scarf

$370
Colour: Natural Yak Golden Brown
Description

This intensely soft oversized scarf is woven from 100% yak khullu. Its loose weave was developed by our master weaver using only two of the four pedals on the loom. These Nomad pieces have undergone an additional process of boiling, transforming as their fibres expand and compress, creating a slight density in the weave.

Garment journey
  •  Provenance: Handwoven at Norlha Atelier using yak khullu sourced from local nomad cooperatives.
  •  Base colour: Yaks typically have a dark brown coat, but they can also be found in grey and, very rarely, in golden brown and white. Our artisans work with all four yak wool shades, which are either left in their natural state, combined to create different tones, or dyed.
  • Yak khullu: This scarf was made using the khullu of 5 yak. Khullu is the ultra-fine, downy undercoat that keeps yak insulated during harsh Tibetan winters. Each summer, the yak naturally shed this down, which is then carefully collected by hand. 
  • Technique: Handwoven
  • Artisans & Processes: A team of 18 artisans handmade this scarf at Norlha Atelier. During its production, it went through 15 highly specialised processes.
  • Shipping: All orders are packed with care and shipped from our atelier on the Tibetan Plateau.
