No. Koalas do not yield wool. However, during the late 1800s and early 1900s, koalas were noted almost to extinction for their pelts because there was great demand in the USA and the UK for koala fur.

What is yield testing?
Yield is the weight of clean wool, after the removal of impurities, expressed as a percentage of the greasy wool weight. These impurities may be natural, such as grease and suint, or acquired, such as seeds and burrs along with sand, soil or other mineral matter. In addition, wool naturally absorbs moisture and this can vary from day to day depending on climatic conditions. Because it is used to estimate the quantity of usable wool fibre in a lot it is a significant factor in wool trading, although it does not, as such, affect the processing efficiency of the wool. The skilled wool buyer can attempt to appraise these impurities and arrive at a yield which is used as the basis of establishing a price for the material. However, with the need for independence, and consistency, nearly all wool is traded on a tested basis. The testing process involves a washing and drying process to remove most impurities and moisture. After the test sub-samples have been weighed they are scoured in hot water and detergent where wool grease, suint (dried sweat), dust and dirt are removed. The wool is rinsed to remove detergent and the minimize fibre loss. The sub-sample is then dried at 105°C until the sample is dry. This constant dry weight is recorded for use in later calculations. After scouring there will still be residual impurities remaining in the wool and these must be measured by more sophisticated methods.
