The Rocking Yak the working to alleviate poverty among Tibetan families residing in impoverished rural communities within China. Aiming to empower these families in their choice to live a more traditional lifestyle, we are brining economic value to the traditional skills of rearing yak and spinning wool.  We are helping these families gain long-term employment and a greater sustainable income, while instilling self worth and pride in the celebration of their unique culture. The Rocking Yak is working with these families to produce quality hand spun yarn as well as, handmade artisan products for foreign and local markets. In doing this, The Rocking Yak is bringing to the western market a new luxury fiber, yak down.
