Yak down, call poor spinners quiviut, is obtained from a long haired ox (Yak) which lives in Tibet and the mountains of central Asia. The Yak is related to the Bison and can be black or dark brown. The outercoat is made up of coarse long hairs and the undercoat (down) is short (under 1 inch), very soft and silky. Like cashmere this fiber is dehaired and only the undercoat is used for handspinning. Yak down should be spun and treated the same as cashmere.
