Yak wool is a very popular fabric now, especially used in sweaters, and it is very warm to wear. Now let me tell you which one is better, yak wool or cashmere? What are the advantages and disadvantages of yak wool?

Which is better, yak cashmere or cashmere?

Cashmere is known as soft gold. China’s annual full production is only about 10,000 tons, and the production cost of an ordinary cashmere sweater is about 400 yuan. Moreover, cashmere is more suitable for worsted spinning and its colors are more varied. Yak wool is also very warm, but the color is monotonous and is suitable for men's clothing. It is not as artistic as cashmere in terms of wearability. But the yield has potential, and everyone knows that sheep eat grass very much and destroy vegetation, but yaks are different. On the other hand, yaks are more environmentally friendly and have higher value.

There is not much difference in warmth retention. Because cashmere is expensive, pure cashmere clothes are relatively thin. To make thicker clothes will be very expensive. I can only say that at the same price, yak hair clothes are better than goat hair clothes. The fleece clothes are thicker and should be warmer.

The advantages and disadvantages of yak velvet

Yak velvet is the fine hair near the head and neck of the yak, with a diameter of less than 20 microns and a length of 3.4 to 4.5 cm. It feels waxy and smooth. Under the rough black yak hair, there is a layer of dense and extremely precious brown down, which local herders call "Khullu". This layer of down helps the yak withstand the severe cold.

This layer of down can only be removed bit by bit by hand when the yak is shedding naturally every spring. In the past, yak down was used by Tibetans to make simple daily necessities; now, it not only brings a stable life to Tibetans, but has also become a new luxury favorite in the international fashion industry. These have changed because of Nuo Le. Nole is not only a brand new luxury brand, but also represents humanistic care and innovation in the ecological environment of the industry.

The disadvantage of yak velvet is that it is very troublesome to make, has a long construction period, and has poor acid and alkali resistance, so you must pay special attention when wearing and washing it.

Precautions for cleaning yak velvet

1. Washing yak velvet clothing is also similar to wool fiber, but when washing, you should first soak the clothes in cold water for 20 minutes, and then add high-end laundry detergent Soluble in lukewarm or cold water.

2. When washing, you should pay attention to protecting the flat and upright plush. Just brush it in the washing liquid a few times, squeeze it a few times, then wash it twice with lukewarm water and three times with cold water.

3. Do not twist it forcefully after washing. You can squeeze the water out with your hands.

4. When drying, put the clothes on a clean pole, drain the water, and then use hangers to dry in a cool and ventilated place. It is not suitable to be exposed to the sun.
