Woolen bag

This is an item that is seen both in agricultural and nomadic areas, but is most widely used in nomadic areas. Unlike bags made from skin, rekhuk are made of yak hair and sheep fleece. They are easy to fold and carry around compared to skin bags. The uses of the woolen bags differ based on their size. For instance, in agricultural areas, the largest bags made of yak hair are used to transport fertilizers and other big objects. The rekhuk is usually a container for everyday small objects. The functions of this bag may differ between nomadic and agricultural areas.
