Finished spinning and plying the yak. Can't wait until it's dry so I can see how truly soft it is. I doubt if I even got 50 yards from 1 ounce but it was worth it.
The yak fiber was incredibly soft and dense. The staple length was almost non-existent--maybe 1 - 1 1/4 inches. I had to really inch worm along as I drafted the fiber.
It's amazing at how satisfying it is to experiment with a new fiber...to come to the end with a beautiful hank of yarn spun by my own two hands.
