Yeti Toy
This exceptionally soft Yeti Toy is handwoven & handsewn from 100% natural white yak wool lightly boiled for a dense, fleece-like touch, featuring a playful small bell on the arm.
Yetis are well known on the Tibetan Plateau but unlike wolves and the legends that spread in the West, will not snatch pastor's sheep or yaks. Spotting one is rare, since they are more furtive than marmots, and certainly less noisy. They are not nearly as big as described by European authors or frightened travellers (who may confuse them with Brown Bears) and live their own lives, mostly not bothering anyone or anything, in rocky areas high in the pasture.
