Also known as Quivit. I know there have been some discussions about Quivit and how nice (and expensive) it is. I have never fondled it.
My parents just came back from Alaska. My mom had gone into a bead/yarn store and saw the yarn. I did not know it came from a Musk Ox. It was $83 for 218 yards of lace weight (supposedly enough for a small lacey scarf). They were out of purple, but she offered to mail order it for me when it was back in stock! I have the best mom ever!

Lucky you! I’ve never felt it, but I hear it’s devine! You have to pluck the belly of the Musk Ox to get it, so I imagine they deserve some well-earned compensation for it.:rofling:
I just did a little googling and found that Kemp has it in her store for a much better price from the same manufacturer! yeah Kemp! Off to call my mom!

wow you are lucky!!! can’t wait to see a pic!
Mmmmm Qiviut…
I’ve never actually felt it, but often dreamt about it. I’m too frugal to buy it myself, unless it was practically free. I can only hope that one day someone will gift me with it like your FABULOUS MOM!!! Mom’s rock! 
How odd…did you mom take cruise? My sister just came back from Alaska too, and also went into a bead/yarn store, where she also felt some quiviut. She said she was stunned by the price (she is not a knitter, and also still a student, so even a can of soda is an extravagant indulgence) but that is was incredibly soft. She wound up getting me a few balls of aMaizing (corn fiber yarn by SWTC) that she found in the sale bin.
I wonder if they were on the sale cruise.
And what am I going to do with 2 skeins of aMaizing?
