Fior di Cashmere: A Luxurious Blend of the most Exquisite Tibetan Fibers

Fior di Cashmere is a sensorial journey, where the fibers whisper of the Tibetan Plateau – its winds, its vast horizon, its ancient traditions – culminating in a finished piece of timeless elegance.It is a mesmerizing blend that marries the essence of Italian Linen, the richness of Tibetan wool, and the unparalleled softness of Tibetan Cashmere—a fiber considered to be the finest in the world.

Out of deep respect for animal welfare, nomads shear the sheep by hand in the traditional way that has been used for centuries. The wool is collected following the natural life rhythms of the animals and the people who raise them. The Tibetan sheep are a very strong breed that has adapted to pretty rough environmental conditions. They can also be found in semi–desert area and mYak has chosen one of these poorer areas for the sourcing of this collection to bring a better income to these communities. Like with the Baby Yak and Tibetan Cashmere, mYak aims to give this thousand of years old nomadic lifestyle an opportunity to thrive and prosper in uncertain modern times. They seek to promote what the nomads have been producing since time immemorial while adding value by having the fiber spun and dyed in Biella, at the foothills of the Italian Alps, the cradle of most ancient and prestigious Italian textile excellence.

mYak yarns are traditionally, sustainably and ethically grown in Tibet, and spun in Italy.

This is a yarn that we have in-stock or we will have more shortly to complete this order.
