I am sorry to be a spoil-sport but these are not wool shawls at all. They are made from acrylic fibre. Mostly made in large quantities in factories but also by hand. The natural yak fibre cannot be so colorful or soft.

Yes, I agree with Pradeep. They are sold in the markets as 100% Yak wool but it is virtually impossible to dye Yak wool as it won't hold the bright color dyes! They are indeed acrylic with a small percentage of sheep wool. They are not from Nepal either but made in India and sent to Nepal for resale. Still, they ARE beautiful and they ARE cosy. I have worn one as a shawl for 5 years in Nepal and now it is a reading blanket on my sofa.

I have bought 2 of these blankets 8 years ago and they are my favorite ones. So soft and cozy, I didnt know it was not 100% wool, is it true? Still I am looking to buy more for my childrens! No blankets beats them, thin and very warm!
