It depends. There is coarse wool that comes from the outer part of the animal's coat and also really soft and fine wool that comes from the inner area. The best stuff is as fine as high quality cashmere at 15-18 micron diameter hairs - and the worst stuff is, well, pretty bad.
I've read (from Khunu.com) that yak wool is 15% warmer than merino wool and it doesn't pill as badly as cashmere. Haven't seen one of their sweaters yet, but it looks pretty nice.
