Camel yarn comes from Bactrian camels, the two humped ones, mainly in Mongolia, China, and Central Asia, so yeah, not a common sight walking around town. For meatloaf, the basic template is a pound of ground beef, usually 80/20 since leaner gets dry, plus half a cup of breadcrumbs, one egg, half a cup of milk, and a diced onion. Salt, pepper, and a spoon of Worcestershire. Mix it with your hands until it just holds together, don't overwork it or it gets dense. Shape it in a loaf pan or freeform on a sheet, then a simple glaze of ketchup, brown sugar, and a splash of vinegar on top. Bake at 350 for about an hour, or until it hits 160 internal. The one real trick is a panade: torn bread soaked in milk instead of dry crumbs. That's what keeps it moist. Some people do half beef half pork, which is better, honestly.
