What on Earth - is a Snooshy ?

It's a quirky little creature

knit from 100% YAK hair (yes, really !)
 with a little 100% organic cotton thrown in.

Snooshies are eco-friendly and fashionable -

 they wear the latest beanies and leggings -made from 100% recycled clothing.

Snooshy was designed by Francis Horters,  

and created with the help of a wonderful company called Shokay.

There are approximately 13 million yaks in Western China. 

  Shokay sources yak fibers directly from Tibetan herders - enabling them to earn

 a sustainable long-term living - and to preserve their traditional lifestyle.

Snooshies are handknit

 by a group of ladies in ChongMing Island near Shanghai.

  The goal is "to build their skill-set in a safe and healthy work environment,

 rewarding them fairly for their beautiful knitting talents".

A great product

on so many levels.

I think Snooshy will find a place 

under more than a few trees

this holiday season.
