A note from Julie
Because I value sustainability and my impact on the planet, the dying process for this yarn does not involve any depigmentation (harsh chemicals). The result is a rich, natural undertone. The fibers are ethically and respectfully sourced directly from the same Tibetan nomads that our dear friends at mYak Tibetan Fiber source their yarns. I can't thank them enough for excitedly working with me to make that happen. (Take a moment to learn mYak’s story.)
