Today I have spun my first ever Yak hair, courtesy of handspinner.co.uk. Tomorrow I will probably go out to work covered in dark brown fluff. I think I may be slightly allergic to yak! I mean how would you ever know? My nose is tickling, itchy and hot and my eyes are itchy but I love Yak fibre. It is a treat to spin and makes a lovely soft, smooth yarn. It feels like very soft, silky wool.
I think knitted Yak knickers may catch on! Mind you could be problematic with an allergy! Bed socks would be luxurious.
