The fiber is collected during the yak's natural molting season, as the weather warms and they shed their undercoat with the assistance of gentle hand-combing—there's no shearing whatsoever, so there is no stress to the animals. Once collected, the fiber goes through careful cleaning, washing, and grading to meet international quality standards before it becomes yarn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mill that makes this yarn is also OEKO-TEX–SteP Certified, guaranteeing processes that respect the natural environment and provide optimum working conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Substitutions For Morning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking for more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/yarn\"\u003eyarn\u003c\/a\u003e like this?
