Yaks are bovines native to the regions around Tibet. We offer the softest Yak fiber, the downy undercoat, blended with Tussah Silk. Yak has a lot of crimp while not being slippery making it easy to spin despite its short staple length.
We recommend wet finishing yak handspun. Look for our tutorial on wet-finishing on the Pattern & Tutorials page.
