I suggest to wear them at home in bed, for lounging or meditation. NOT suitable in shoes or walking! As yak wool is really soft, the socks won't last long in shoes due to rubbing and pressure.
For wearing in shoes camel wool socks are much better. Find them here:

Mongolian yak from Arkhangai province has really fine and soft fur. It lives in area where temperature drops to -35°C in winter. As soon as your hand touches the fiber, you will feel its luxurious, soft and silky touch. You may even feel like you have cashmere in your hand as the texture is incredibly light and has the same softness.
Anything made from this premium wool will keep you warm and dry as their fibers do so for yaks in Mongolia. Breathable, quick-drying, comfortable even for long outings. Yak down fibers are hollow, allowing them to trap air and provide high warmth-to-weight ratios.
Yak down even outperformed Merino in independent laboratory testing boasting 40% more warmth, 66% greater air permeability, and 17% greater water vapor permeability than Merino wool fabrics.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Unfortunately our socks are not outdoor socks. As wool is a natural material, it’s not so resistant to rubbing and pressure. Therefore they don’t last as long as synthetic materials do. Unfortunately it happens to all wool socks. The more wool, the faster they tend to get holes. We suggest 2-3 pairs/season.
We suggest you to wash the socks as less as possible. How come?
Wool contains lanolin (animal fat) which works like natural impregnation, meaning it repels dirt, so it naturally stays on the outside of the fabric and can usually be wiped away. If you have to wash use cold water and wool detergent. Please, in no case do not use usual wash powder or gel.
We suggest you to wear out the socks as much as you can by turning the sole over. That’s what I do to minimize the waste.
