  Topologically non trivial spin textures host great promise for future
spintronic applications. Skyrmions in particular are of burgeoning interest
owing to their nanometric size, topological protection, and high mobility via
ultra-low current densities. It has been previously reported through magnetic
susceptibility, microscopy, and scattering techniques that
Co$_{8}$Zn$_{8}$Mn$_{4}$ forms an above room temperature triangular skyrmion
lattice. Here we report the synthesis procedure and characterization of a
polycrystalline Co$_{8}$Zn$_{8}$Mn$_{4}$ bulk sample. We employ powder x-ray
diffraction, backscatter Laue diffraction, and neutron diffraction as
characterization tools of the crystallinity of the samples, while magnetic
susceptibility and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) measurements are
performed to study the skyrmion phase. Magnetic susceptibility measurements
show a dip anomaly in the magnetization curves which persists over a range of
approximately 305 K- 315 K. SANS measurements reveal a rotationally disordered
polydomain skymrion lattice. Applying a recently developed symmetry-breaking
magnetic field sequence, we were able to orient and order the previously jammed
state to yield the prototypical hexagonal diffraction patterns, with secondary
diffraction rings.
