All proceeds of the digital pattern are going to be used by mYak to support the Tibetan nomads.

Gyarong is a part of the tibetan plateau in the eastern region Kham where the highlands of tibet are transformed into a landscape of canyons and rivers.
This sideways worked cowl picks up the structure of the landscape and translates it into a geometric pattern.

Just pick three contrasting colors of the lovely sustainable mYak yarn and create a quick and cosy neck warmer.
