Fonty - Genghis Khan 2 - colors 223 (price for 1 ball - yak down)

The GENGIS KHAN 2 yarn is made exclusively from yak down sourced from the "Cooperative of Breeders of the Khangai Mountains," an eco-friendly and fair trade supply chain established by Fonty in Mongolia with the technical support of AVSF (Agronomists and Veterinarians Without Borders).
The yaks are combed in spring by the Mongolian breeders, and after sorting, just under 100g of down per animal per year is collected and spun into yarn by Fonty.

This 2-ply yarn, besides its exceptional colors and feel, is particularly warm; entirely natural and without any chemical treatment, it comes in 3 colors (grey, brown, dark brown) which are the three shades of yak fleeces, and in 2 twisted versions, pairing these 3 colors two by two.
GENGIS KHAN 2 is knitted with needles size 2 to 2.5.

It is hand washed and has the particularity of softening with successive washes.
