From beneath the shaggy mantle of the North American bison comes the beautiful winter undercoat of pure bison down; America's premium luxury fiber. Surprisingly soft, seriously strong.

Buffalo Gold #13: Lightweight, 25% pure bison down blended with 75% bamboo. Smooth and silky. A soft yarn with more drape and a cooler hand than other bison products, and oh, so grand for scarves, sweaters and shawls. This yarn has a beautiful silky texture and a shimmering burnished gold color as the bison and bamboo intertwine.
