Bijou Basin Ranch sent me some AWESOME yarn to try and as much as I hate to part with it but I’m going to share it with you! (75% Yak Down/25% Super Fine Merino “Himalayan Trail” Yarn) In addition, they sent some excellent Allure Fine Fiber and Fabric Wash, too, that’s my new favorite!

Sheepishly Sharing 
Margaret, I love your videos! I would love to win the Yak yarn and/or the Allure wash! I visited the site and didn’t know that the people of Tibet utilized the entire yak, fur, meat, horns, even burn the dung for fuel! I have handled some yak yarn at a festival and it is ever so soft! The lovely lavender color is just beautiful. Thanks for your videos! You are like having a best friend come over to the house! Pam McGinty
I would love to win this yak yarn. I was surprised to see all the ways to use the whole yak. Meat, yarn, fuel. I like the lightness but the warmth you get from yak yarns. I like to be warm but not have the heaviness you get with some yarns. Good luck everyone.

This looks like a wonderful fiber. I would love to give it a try. After looking around a bit on the Bijou Basin Ranch site, I learned that the yak is fairly easy to care for. They can survive on a third less grass than cows. And the mommas have easy births. 🙂
I didn’t know that Yak is warmer than wool and softer than cashmere. I think that it is cool that it is hypoallergenic. I would like to get the chance to work with it. Looking through the site was interesting. I found a new type of yarn that I never heard of, Qiviut , I had seen Muskox, but never thought of them as a source of yarn,
First I want to say that I enjoyed your video, you are a natural in front of the camera, but I also feel like I’m having a cup of tea with you and your chatting away!! I am now a subscriber of your YouTube channel.
I didn’t know that farmers made wool from yaks and I was fascinated with learning the different varieties of yaks… Meaning the different colours! My favourite would be the Royal or the Trim… Love the black and white😉
I didn’t realize we had yaks in the US. Also surprising it that, after 100 years , there are so few of them. Doesn’t really make sense, either, with them having so many desirable qualities.
I love your videos but can not leave a comment on them at You Tube. I never knew Yak was from China. Who knew? Beautful animals. Thanks so much for taking the time and energy it take to post your wonderful videos.
