Oh give me a skein
Made of buffalo mane
Be it DK or sock weight or worsted
Surely shearing's not hard
Just walk into the yard..
No wait...I will let YOU go firsted.
Wool, Buffalo wool!
How novel! thread coming from bison
Tho' to harvest this yarn
And still not come to harm
It would probably take a Mike Tyson.

Oh give me a scow
Made of balsa and cow
With the leather stretched over the wood!
My all-natural boat
Would struggle to float,
But the lake water would feel so good!

You win, hands down.
Coracle, coracle on the foam
Jes' bobbing and floating along
When it does spring a leak
Start to bail--don't say "eek!"
Or you know that you'll never get home!
Oh, dear...
Actually, very clever - both of you.
Don't encourage us.
Just asking: have you tried the very soft musk ox? Made from the fur dropped when moulting. The trick is, it blooms, so you cannot (at least I can't) unpick and reknit without having uneven stitches. Supposed to be the warmest yarn, with angora rabbit second.
