Wool is obtained from sheep, yak, and other animals that are used to living in the cold. These animals have been domesticated to produce milk, meat, manure, wool, as well as to generate cash or for bartering. The animals are also used to ship goods across the Himalayas. Particularly, the strands of Tibetan wool used for making sweaters and rugs is a filament with an inside filling that absorbs the dye: resulting in colors that improve over time.

Our woolen products are exclusively hand woven by women, a significant number of whom suffer from hardships due to widowhood, divorces and abandonment. The intricate process of wool knitting and weaving requires adroit hands and mind. Instead of working in factories, our women artisans work at home in their leisure hours after tending to their household chores. Our fair wage system provides them with a much needed additional income that is used to educate their children.
