You deserve to treat yourself to a special accessory to enjoy for years. A cloud-like softness unlike any other yarn in your yarn stash. 

Qiviut comes from the fine undercoat of the Muskox. A natural fiber that is one of the warmest and most luxurious fibers in the world.

Unique characteristics of Qiviut include: 

  • 8 times warmer than wool
  • Finer than Cashmere: Some even say it makes cashmere feel rough in comparison
  • Hypoallergenic
    •
  • Hollow Fibers: That's why it's sooo light!
  • Lacks Lanolin/ Scales: This means no itchy, scratchy irritation on your skin when you wear it
  • Water repellent
    •
  • 11-14 microns

    •  Qiviut is not just wonderful to wear, it is a dream to work with during the entire knitting process. 

    “If you love to knit, this is one of the most special investments you can make in yarn or a project. Very much worth the splurge!”

    Qiviut is Among the Finest and Rarest Natural Fibers in the World

    Softness

    Qiviut is a lovely soft yarn that knits like a dream. Knitters often say that qiviut makes cashmere feel rough in comparison.

    Uniqueness

    A fiber so unique, consider treating yourself to the finest quality yarn worthy of your time and effort. Qiviut does not shed, it's odorless, and retains warmth even when wet.

    Rarity

    Qiviut has the smallest production per year than any other natural fiber including Vicuna. Not only a rare beauty but a true experience to knit with.

    Insulation

    Gentle on your hands to knit, buttery soft to wear! Extremely warm, lightweight fiber that preserves heat in the winter, while also providing cool, breathable comfort in warmer weather.

    Where does Qiviut come from?

    From the delicate under-wool of the Arctic Muskox

    Muskox are prehistoric goats that currently live in the northern arctic region.

    They’re survivals of the last ice age that co-existed with Mammoths and Mastodons.

    The insulating warmth of qiviut is one of the principal reasons Muskox can survive the arctic winters.

    Their long outer layer, known as the “guard hair” protects the Muskox from the cold arctic winters.

    Underneath the long guard hair is the fine undercoat of the Muskox known as qiviut (kiv-ee-ute) in the Native Alaskan Inuit language.

    Since Muskox aren’t domesticated, our fibers are collected off the bushes and tundra where the muskox had shed.

    Because of this, production is often very limited.
