Dear Sir or Madam,

I am impressed on the facts that you have published about Qiviuk and other ultrafine fibers. We started transforming this wonderful fibre about 20 years ago and have managed to bring it to its fullest in a variety of garments and accessories, some of which you have covered in your magazine. Our sources are from Alaska, Canada and Greenland.

I would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation and discuss some of the fascinating facts of this material and the Muskox. Furthermore we are also involved with Vicuna and Bison.
What should we know?

All of our items are made of 100% Qiviut and are natural in color. Knitted caps and scarves are as comfortable to wear on cool days in a warm climate as they are in cold weather. Qiviut, unlike wool, is not scratchy and does not shrink in any temperature of water. It is washable by hand in any mild detergent and will last for many years.

Qiviut is a very rare and highly prized sheep’s wool that is made in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It is the world’s only commercially-produced natural Arctic-wear, making it an incredibly valuable and sought after textile.

In reply to Ranveer. Thanks for the feedback. You should certainly hand wash qiviut items.

In reply to geometry dash.

The animals simply get a haircut…it is extremely humane and helps them cool off in the summer. It is helps their skin stay healthier. Northern temperatures are extreme…extremely cold in the winter and extremely hot in the summer.
Please educate yourself before assuming the worst.

Do you make muskox felt? I am looking for a warmer material to make high quality Duffles socks for the inside of kamiks, and to line mukluks, mitts and moccasins. I currently use a radiant thermal layer and sheepskin but I would like less bulk.
