One-of-a-kind Gombo Kyi Scarf

This one-of-a-kind yak khullu and silk-blend scarf is woven from recycled yarn. It is exceptionally soft and lightweight, with a 100% khullu thread in the weft and a silk-blend thread in the warp. Its striped design is inspired by the contrasting bands of colour seen in the traditional ‘pangden’, or apron, worn by women across central Tibet.

This piece is part of a limited range of scarves made using repurposed yarn left over from previous Norlha collections. Due to limited quantities of surplus yarn, each scarf is truly unique.
