Description   Unbelievably easy to spin! That's what beginning spinners have told us! These cleaned, de-haired and carded rovings draw like magic. Short staple length is no problem for this 100% Pure Yak fiber. As a true wool, twist is easy to apply. Spin this luxurious fiber into luxurious yarns like you've always dreamed. Micron counts are 14 - 16 to make a truly soft yarn. Available in 1 oz. bags in both natural deep brown and natural cream colors.   Features The yak (Bos grunniens) is a long-haired bovine found throughout the Himalayan region of south Central Asia, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia. In addition to a large domestic population, there is a small, vulnerable wild yak population. In Tibetan, the word gyag refers only to the male of the species; a female is a dri or nak. In most languages which borrowed the word, including English, yak is usually used for both sexes. Yaks are herd animals. Wild male yaks stand about 2–2.2 meters tall at the shoulder, the females about one third of that size, and domesticated yaks about 1.6–1.8 meters. Both types have long shaggy hair to insulate them from the cold. Wild yaks can be brown or black. Domesticated ones can also be white. Both males and females have horns. Domestic yaks mate in about September; the females may first conceive at about 3–4 years of age, calving April to June about every other or every third year, apparently depending upon food supply. This gestation period is approximately 9 months. In the absence of more data, wild animals are assumed to mirror this reproductive behavior. Calves will be weaned at one year and become independent shortly thereafter. Yaks may live to somewhat more than 20 years. Related Products...
