Noble Fibres & Fabrics
Khangai fibres are exquisitely soft, warmer than merino wool, light and breathable, resistant to piling, wate 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.
Our materials
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, to 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.

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 raw fibres and yarn construction to create a single ream of luxurious cloth. Our Khangai Noble Yarns are woven into cloth at a family-owned mill in Yorkshire, where textile manufacturing dates back to 1777.
For centuries, the soft alkaline water of the Yorkshire Pennines has been a key ingredient in the creation of soft yarns and exquisite cloth. This unique natural ingredient of Yorkshire textile manufacturing gives Tengri products their distinguished, luxurious handle and understated elegance.
