Unraveling the Mysteries of Yaks and Enticing Yak Fiber: Everything You Need to Know
Yaks, or ‘Bos grunniens’, are bovines prized for lean meat and high-quality khullu fiber or yak down.

While there are ethical considerations due to their diminishing habitats, yak products are seeing a rise in market interest, appealing for their sustainable designation and luxury status.
