Threads of Tradition: Reviving Yak Wool Weaving in Tibet I SLICE TRAVEL | FULL DOC

In Tibet, Dechen, a young Tibetan woman born in France and educated in the USA, has revitalised the weaving of yak’s wool.
Under its shaggy, black coat, the yak grows a soft and hard-to-collect down that keeps it warm through the Himalayan winter. In the spring, the khu is handpicked from the yak, which can be very dangerous.
In olden days, this precious wool was reserved for grand lamas and noble families. The knowledge associated with the traditional picking and spinning process was dying out.
Since 2006, with the help of her mother, Dechen has revived it. Luxury design houses can’t get enough of this unique textile. Dechen’s workshop employs 80 people. It is a three-day truck ride from Lhasa, at an altitude of 3,200 metres in the Zorge Rotoma region inhabited mostly by nomads.

Who takes care of the Yaks and Sheep when everyone is working? Also will you be expanding to sheeps wool also at some point? You have done an amazing, wonderful thing for your people, so wonderful. Now next generations have a hope to make livings and be able to stay where they are without moving to the big cities away from family.
