" A friend of mine has some hand plucked bison wool from three year old bulls, cows and yearling bulls. The wool is an inch or more in length and not washed, just plucked from the hide. It is not washed, just hand pulled from the hide. There is no hair in it just those guard hairs which are easy to remove as it was pulled off straight in clumps dry. So, it is all loose as long as the fiber was on the bison. We are looking at selling this at $45 a pound as is. Let me know if you are interested. Billy - [email protected] We are going to work on the goodie bags on Sunday the October 6th. We will start at 1PM and plan to end around 4PM.
