Lonely Planet review for Shokay
If the sign outside (‘100% yak!’) doesn’t catch your attention, we don’t know what will. Shokay is one of the few places in the world where you can pick up hand-knit clothing made entirely out of, yup, yak wool – which is a surprisingly soft, supple material. A nonprofit organisation, they support Tibetan herders (who gather the wool) and Chongming Island farmers (who do the knitting) and use revenue to help Chinese minority groups start their own businesses. Scarves start at Y980.
