Reply To: How important is the yak to the Tibetans on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

You are right, yak is very valuable in Tibet. I have been knitting for a long time and have appreciated all the advantages of yak wool yarn. I buy material at this store https://www.badmayarns.com/collection/baby-yak-wool It is very important to me that the price is affordable, because the store receives the wool of young yaks directly from reindeer herding cooperatives in Mongolia. In the end, even with shipping to other countries comes out much cheaper than merino yarn bought in our stores. But the quality is absolutely the same.
