Description
This is the famous Buffalo Gold, Buffalo Spinning Fiber! There is a reason they call it Buffalo Gold and not just for the price.
Bison are molting animals which shed their coats in the spring of each year. Native Americans have used the fiber for rope, stuffing for insulation, and fiber art.
While bison wool fiber has been used for textile products, its textile properties are beginning to be understood. So far, the fineness of the fiber has been measured, fibers have been microscopically analyzed and photographed, and the moisture regain of the fiber has been measured.
Moisture regain of bison wool ranged from 13 to 20 percent. This is a broader range than that of sheep's wool, which ranges from 14 to 16 percent. Moisture regain is a measure of the amount of moisture a fiber will hold without feeling wet and is used to understand the comfort level of a fiber.
The more moisture a fiber will hold, the more comfortable it is to wear.
Dominant animals downy fiber averaged 21.8 microns and subordinate animal averaged 18.8 microns. Both types of fiber were consistent in size from the root. The fiber diameter of downy bison fiber is similar to sheep's wool in the fine and medium grades.
