There are places where you can send some qiviut and doesn’t have to be 600 lbs of it. When i am sending some qiviut i usually send it to Still River Mill. They do a very good job of spinning, you can even send a sample of how thick you would like your yarn spun.

I happened upon your website looking for a pair of qiviut mittens, but none to be found. When katie is well, I wish her lots of energy to process the yarn and make something that will be a family heirloom. I have a qiviut hat from the oomingmak coop, and cherish it every time I walk my wonderful dog at 10 or 15 degrees out! Wellness to you and your family from Anchorage.

It’s so light I can easily breathe through it when I’ve pulled it up over my nose and mouth, the moisture from my breath does not condense on the inside much at all (so much less than with a regular scarf), and I’m not sure how I got through winters without it. I’m in a place with moderately easy winters, with some good, hard snaps in which I’ve tested it, but I’ve lived in places with fierce winters. Katie will love a bit of qiviut down lace in the winter.

Unless, of course, you are an arctic musk ox. ;)
