Description   Jacques Cartier Qiviuk Yarn is truly a luxury.  Qiviuk or Qiviut Muskox fiber has been sought after for centuries for it's softness and magical warmth. These shaggy behemoths walked across the Bering Land Bridge during the last Ice Age and managed to survive an era that most animals did not.   The muskox now live exclusively in the Canadian Arctic, Alaska and Greenland.  The global population is estimated at about 180,000.  Qiviuk is valued because unlike sheeps wool it will not shrink in water at any temperature.  Qiviuk is stronger and eight times warmer that sheeps wool.  It's also softer than cashmere!  Qiviuk retains warmth even when wet but is breathable during warmer weather.  One skein of Qiviuk is enough for a gorgeous lace scarf or cowl.   Fiber Content- 100% Qiviuk Yardage- Approx 218 yards per 28 gram ball Gauge varies depending on project
