Noble Yarns & Fabrics

Khangai Limited Editions

Khangai fibres are exquisitely soft, warmer than merino wool, light and breathable, resistant to pilling, water and odours, hypoallergenic, with the strength and durability associated with cervelt (red deer down).

Khangai yaks and camels live in extreme seasonal temperatures, ranging from +40 to -40 degrees Celsius, resulting in fibres with outstanding thermal-regulating properties.

 

Khangai Noble Fibres

Available only once a year, our rare natural fibres are sustainably sourced from indigenous yaks, camels and sheep of the remote Khangai region in Mongolia, and the rare lustrous wool of the British Bluefaced Leicester found in the Yorkshire Pennines.

Tengri herders and farmers hand-harvest fibres from each animal once a year, when the animals shed their winter coats, producing 100-500 grammes of rare Tengri Noble Fibres® each spring.

Tengri Noble fibres are exquisitely soft, warmer than merino wool, light and breathable, resistant to pillling, water, odours and flame. They’re hypoallergenic, with the strength and durability associated with cervelt (red deer down).

Khangai yaks, camels and sheep live in extreme seasonal temperatures, ranging from +40 to -40 degrees Celsius (+104 to -40 degrees Fahrenheit), in extreme altitudes, resulting in natural fibres with outstanding thermal-regulating properties.

Natural, Sustainable, Rare, Luxurious

Centuries of traditional craftsmanship & innovation

Centuries of traditional craftsmanship are combined with the latest innovations in sustainable textile research and development to transform our noble fibres into unique Tengri Noble Yarns® and Fabrics® 

Making Tengri yarns and fabrics requires creative artistry and science, combining the best noble fibres and craftsmanship to create a single ream of luxurious cloth. Our Khangai Noble Yarns are woven into cloth at a family-owned mill in Yorkshire and Scotland, where the tradition of heritage textiles and craft is embedded in the cultural fabric of the community, handed down through the generations, unbroken for the last 1,000 years.

Every ream of cloth is finished in the soft alkaline waters found only in the Scottish Highlands and Yorkshire Pennines, key in the creation of soft yarns and exquisite cloth for centuries. This unique natural ingredient found only in the UK gives Tengri products a distinguished, luxurious handle and understated elegance. We are proud to produce fabrics to the highest standards on the global market – the Tengri Way.

Noble for a Reason

 

By partnering with indigenous communities and local governments, we ensure the highest level of transparency, traceability and business integrity, connecting a global community from East to West. We are proud to be the global authority of Noble Yarns® and the world’s first company championing Responsible Nomads, a community-led, certified standard for ethical trade, global transparency and regenerative sourcing. This ensures people, the places they call home, and all life — plants and animals — are nurtured and respected.

Due to the rarity and sacredness of our materials, less than 1,000 meters of our limited edition fabrics are produced annually, available at select bespoke tailors, ateliers and exclusive partners.
