Ads will lead unsuspecting consumers to believe items are American bison. There are American bison web sites where you can buy fiber to spin, yarn to knit, or knitted and felted items. But the poor bison usually gives his life for these products since their temperment isn't given to simple brushing or clipping. Good news is they are in good supply and specifically raised for meat and by products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
