Granny's gone and done it again

I noticed this year that the birds seem quit fond of it for their nests.

average adult yak yields about 1 pound of inner fiber a year. Yaks have TWO fur coats. like a lot of dogs Chesapeaks come to mind or golden retrievers. Outer hair is longer and not as soft to held shed water and snow and then the inner layer for warmth.

Except for a non shedding breed that has hair not fur.

You should charge them.

that came off the side we couldn't get to with a brush.

They start shedding at the centerline down their back and gradually it works its way to the belly or lower sides.

Sounds interesting. So how much do you get each year?

DG didn't have lighter fluid yesterday. Said it was a seasonal item they don't sell after July 4. That's crazy

Now come to think of it, I've never seen it after the 4th either!

Bread and milk is for families with kids. Milk for the cereal, bread for PBand J sandwiches.

Here it's milk, bread and eggs. I always joke that they're making French toast lol At the mention of bad weather the shelves get emptied of those.

I think the "blankets" are a mix of both but mainly the inner stuff.

You can give it a nice sounding name, but they are still rats nests!

what I need would be a pair of old time carding paddles

And a spinning wheel! Then you can send out knitted socks for Christmas!

Night papa!

depends on when or if we get to them the adults are NOT fond of being in the squeeze chute while we brush them so we tend to just grab the big wads and try to get rid of any major tangles. Part of the reason I want to keep Hailey she is SUPER wooly and young enough that I think she would get used to it.

I'll take a hat instead of socks Twist. Then I'll say "you like my twisted yak hat?" If someone asks.
