Yak Wool + Kala Cotton Handwoven Fabric, 45" Wide, 200 GSM
$24.46Excl. T.V.A.
Description
A refined yak wool–cotton blend handwoven in quiet, natural gray tones. At 200 GSM, this sits in the true midweight range—substantial enough for structured garments yet supple enough for everyday wear. The cloth carries the warmth and subtle halo of yak wool balanced by the stability of a cotton ground, resulting in a textile that feels heritage-minded, understated, and deeply tactile. Offered in three undyed, naturally occurring gray shades, each yard retains subtle tonal variation that speaks to fiber origin rather than processing.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is handwoven on traditional looms using undyed yak wool blended into a cotton warp-and-weft system. The weave is a balanced plain structure that allows the yak fibers to bloom gently on the surface while keeping the cloth stable and durable. The fabric is finished lightly to preserve the natural character of both fibers—no chemical softeners, no bleaching, and no colorants.
