ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven yak throw transforms any space with its timeless walnut black base and delicate hand-knotted merino stripe details. Master weavers in Nepal craft each piece on traditional handlooms, creating subtle textured patterns that emerge from the natural interplay of yak and merino fibers.
The artisan hand-spins both the yak wool base and merino embroidery threads, then dyes them with certified eco-friendly Swiss dyes free of toxic chemicals. Each stripe is beautifully hand-knotted on one side while the reverse remains clean, creating a reversible throw that offers two distinct styling options.
Rooted in generations of Nepalese weaving traditions, this throw supports fair trade women artisan communities while bringing authentic craftsmanship into your daily rituals of comfort and contemplation.
