Fonty GENGIS KHAN 3 Color:301 Anke von AhrentschildtThe GENGIS KHAN 3 yarn is made exclusively from yak down originating from the "Khangai Mountains Breeders Cooperative", an eco responsible and fair trade local organisation set up by Fonty in Mongolia with the technical support of AVSF (Agronomists and Veterinarians Without Borders). The yaks are combed in the spring by Mongolian herders, and after sorting, a little less than 100g of down per animal and per year are harvested and transformed into yarn
