Qiviut Characteristics Musk Ox Qiviut (kiv-ee-ute) is one of the finest and warmest fibers on earth. The musk ox have adapted their extraordinary undercoat to protect them since prehistoric times. Their down-like under-hair is eight times warmer than wool by weight and finer than cashmere. Each spring the musk ox sheds this two-part coat and it is harvested by separating the down from the long guard-hairs. The harshness and remoteness of the Arctic limits the amount of qiviut available making it one of the most sought after and treasured of all natural luxury fibers. Qiviut fiber is so fine that if you laid 1,950 of them side by side, they would barely cover an inch at 16 microns each. The pattern of small scales on the surface of Qiviut fibers is smooth and even. This characteristic gives it resistance to felting, scratching and shrinking. The appearance of Qiviut garments improves with washing, giving it more loft, softness and warmth. Qiviut’s blooming characteristic enables one to use larger than normal needles for yarns of this weight to create a garment that is remarkably lightweight yet incredibly warm. Qiviut responds well to fondling! The more you fondle Qiviut, the softer it becomes. You’ve got to feel it to believe it! Each skein is hand wound to ensure no knots.

Natural Qiviut & QMS Blend Yarns left to right: 100% Qiviut Fingering 100% Qiviut Sport 70/20/10 Qiviut/Merino/Silk Lace 45/45/10 Qiviut/Merino/Silk Fingering 45/45/10 Qiviut/Merino/Silk Cobweb Lace (100% Qiviut Lace & 45/45/10 Qiviut/Merino/Silk Sport not pictured) Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Black Lavender Pewter Red Robin Sapphire Suntan Natural Qiviut is a warm, medium brown color that appears lighter when blended with creamy Australian Merino and white Cultivated Mulberry Silk fibers. Therefore, the blended yarns appear more gray than brown respective to the fiber blend percentage. Dyed 100% Qiviut colors are rich, deep hues that become progressively lighter in the blended yarns. The lighter 45/45/10 QMS blend shades cannot be reproduced in the 70/20/10 QMS blend or 100% Qiviut due to higher dark qiviut fiber contents. The dyes are permanent, fade resistant and will remain true for generations.
